Hi, I am 55 y/o I had an EKG done today, the readings were Rate 74, PR162, Qt?qtc 380/404, QRSD 84, P Axis 46, QRS Axis -2, TAxis -1. Left Atral enlargement and borderline, what does all of this mean?
You should ask this in the "ask the doctor" forum. I've promised myself and people here to not try to act like a doctor (when I'm not) and interpret EKGs, as I don't have the proper knowledge and it can be dangerous.
However, I can explain the terminology and what is "within normal limits" values.
Rate 74 = your heart rate.
PR time = Time from heart beat starts in upper chambers, to it reaches the main chambers. Normal value: 120-220 ms.
QT= Time the main chambers use to beat and repolarize. Normal values 330-450 msec (females). Changes with heart rate and QTc is what it's estimated to be at rate 60.
QRSD = Conduction time through the main chambers (the "spike" on EKG). Normal values <120 msec.
P Axis: The direction most of the electrical signals in upper chambers follows. Straight to the left is 0 degrees. -30 to +120 degrees is normal.
QRS axis: The same, concerning main chambes. -30 to +120 degrees is normal.
T axis: The same, concerning repolarization. Should not differ more than 45 degrees from QRS axis.
Left atrial enlargement: Should be interpreted by your doctor. Could be a measuring error, you should ask your doctor about this.
Borderline EKG = automatic interpretation. Probably marked "borderline" due to the last piece of information.
I cannot say if your EKG is normal or not. You'll have to ask a doctor, preferrably the one who did the test.
