ECG Results

[sj1993]

Just had my ECG results back wondering if people can shed any light.
I'm 22 years old + male.

Here are the results;

RR- 823 m/s
PR- 1478 m/s
QRS- 176 m/s
QT- 462 m/s
QTC- 513 m/s
HR- 73 bpm

And then at the top is says a number of suggestions including;

Sinus Rhythm, First Degree AV block, Right Bundle Branch Block , QRS Contour Abnormality etc

My doctor seems to think its most likely a benign non consequential right bundle branch block thats causing a distortion of the ECG results but i've been referred to a cardiologist just to make sure. Pretty sure its non-consequential but would appreciate any knowledge people have?

Thanks for the background.  The numbers were so unusual that I would have thought that you had a fainting spell before referral to ECG.  Since your prior ECGs were normal, it could be that the latest one was not prep properly resulting in anomalous readings.  Still best to re-check with an EP or cardiologist to make sure.

ECG was done because I had been having PVCs and recently had a run of 3/4 which scared me. No family history and a recent history of ECGs and other tests that were completely normal. This result seems like an anomaly and seems more to be a problem with the reading than anything else. Just confused me a bit. Thanks for all comments

Your PR interval can't be 1478 msec. That would make your heart rate far slower. RR interval represent the time between the heart beats in milliseconds. PR interval can't be longer than the total interval.

Your QT is long because the QRS interval is prolonged from the RBBB. The repolarization time (which is the important thing) is within normal limits. But I agree - with an abnormal EKG it's a good idea to see a cardiologist.

I don't think anyone here can shed any more light than your GP.  The cardiologist will have to do more testing.   I might be able to give more info if I saw the tracing.  The PR interval is long, anything >200 m/s represents verying degrees of heart block.    Are you sure yours is 1478?

QTc is long too.

Hi,  I curious why your doctor ordered an ECG in the first place.  Would you mind providing some background and family history with regard to heart disease?  Thanks.
