Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Please review my ECG report. I am on Diltiazem.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The report on your ECG (electrocardiography) states that (attachment removed to protect patient identity) there is a presence of nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay. Some of the causes of this disorder are amyloidosis, cardiomyopathy, and electrolyte imbalance, etc. Are you experiencing any symptoms? Why did you go for an ECG?
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I had fast heart rate. Is that something serious?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Most likely not especially at your age. Why were you placed on Diltiazem? Did you notice the fast heartbeat before taking Diltiazem or after? Are you on any other medication and do you have a family history of heart disease?
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I was placed on Diltiazem as I had anxiety issues and hypertension. I am not on any medications. I have no family history of heart disease.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I can say that most likely the cause of the intraventricular conduction delay is Diltiazem. I advise you to talk to your physician about the possibility of placing you on different antihypertensive medication. The conduction delay should disappear from the ECG after a while if not using the medicine.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
