Bordeline Left Atrial Abnormality EKG
by ressdan, Jan 12, 2004 12:00AM
I recently underwent cosmetic surgery and had to go for an EKG. I received the report and was told I was OK to have surgery but I should look into getting more information on my report. I am now very concerned. Can you help me interpret the report? I says I have: Normal Sinus Rhythm Rate 86 (normal P axis, PR, rate & rhythm), Borberline Left Atrial Abnormality (P>30mS, <.10mV V1), Left Axis Deviation (QRS axis (-31,-90), Early Transition With RSR in V1 or V2 (QRS area positive & R' v1/v2).
Rate 86
PR 171
QRSD85
QT 356
QTe 426
P 78
QRS -45
T 50
Concerned and worried,
Ressdan

Ressdan,
Thanks for the post.
The information you provided does not sound concerning. However, just as it is hard to describe the beauty of a sunset, it is hard to describe an ECG. To properly evaluate an ECG requires that you actually see it.
At least 10-15% of normal persons have ECGs that show Left atrial abnormality. The other findings of Left Axis Deviation and Early Transition are also common. These findings are present in many young or thin persons, as an example.
Talk to your internist. If he/she is unconcerned, then feel reassured.
Good luck.

normal sinus rhythm, rate 92...Normal P axis, PR, rate & rhythm
rate 92

should i worry about any of this or is there something i can do to prevent any other happenings??
what does "BORDERLINE ECG" means ?
I'm 60 Years old
Rate 65 - Normal sinus rhythm rate 65 Normal P axis, PR, rate & rhythm

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS ECG IS NORMAL?
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!
