Unless you have taken at least college-level anatomy and physiology, *you* don't read EKGs. I am not kidding. Your average GP can do a basic read and tell if anything really unusual is there, but even he or she will need a specialist to explain anything remotely exotic.
Ask your husband's cardiologist for a an explanation in plain English.
