what do my test results MEAN??
by deanacarpenter, Jun 13, 2008 05:47PM
i'm 34 and very obese. i went to a lifeline screening in may and just got my results back. my bloodwork was great except elevated proteins etc showed i have the beginnings of heart disease (which i'm assuming most fat people would have)
i had other tests that came out normal.
my atrial fibrillation test showed i have NO evidence of atrial fibrillation, BUT they did suspect an abnormality. then on my rhythm strip, all it said was LEFT-RIGHT ARM LEAD REVERSAL as the "incidental findings". so that is the abnormality...what does it mean??
here are the results on my rhythm strip btw:
vent. rate: 77 bpm
RR interval 775 ms
PR interval 136 ms
QRS duration 92 ms
QT interval 358 ms
QTc interval 387
QT dispersion 42 ms
P-R-T AXIS 180' 123' 148'
i'm having weight loss surgery in a month (lapband)...do i need to worry about this heart test? my father has mitrol valve prolapse and had surgery years ago ..double bypass. is this all weight related or should i worry about having a heart attack during or after surgery?
thanks for all info!!!

I cannot interpret your test results, but wanted to wish you the best possible outcome on your upcoming surgery!
If you have the slightest concern, it would be a good idea to get a second opinion, or the opinion of a cardiologist.
