Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My ECG report showed left axis deviation, left anterior fascicular block and prolonged QT interval. Is this an abnormal ECG? What kind of health issue I am having? I am a 48 year old female. Also, I am diabetic since four years.

Answered by Dr. Rishu Sharma

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Left ventricular hypertrophy is the most important cause of left axis deviation and left anterior fascicular block. Hypertension (high blood pressure) can very often result in left ventricular hypertrophy causing left axis deviation. QT prolongation can be because of many medications. Are you hypertensive? Are you taking any medicines for diabetes? QT can be prolonged because of the effect of those medicines. Get a serum electrolyte test done. You should attach the ECG copy to look at the anomalies and the medicines name. If left axis deviation is there, 2D echocardiography should be done to rule out left ventricle hypertrophy.

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