Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I went to the doctors with four bouts of chest pain. Lasted under a minute each time. The pain went into the left arm. The doctor ordered ECG. No breathlessness, unless exercising. Can you please review and provide feedback on a recent ECG?

Answered by Dr. Randeep Singla

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Significant findings in ECG are early repolarization in V5 and V6. This is a normal finding at your age. Deep S wave in lead V3. This can suggest left ventricular hypertrophy (by Cornell voltage criteria). However, there are no other changes in ECG to suggest LVH and deep S wave can sometimes be seen normally in young people. You can get echocardiography to remove any doubt regarding LVH (left ventricular hypertrophy).

Investigations to be done

Do echocardiography.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
