Can a low-voltage ECG be a normal variant?

Question

Hi doctor,

The electrocardiogram (ECG) shows low voltage with a QRS of 86 mm. I am physically fit and active, and I did not have any such issues a year ago. What could be the cause, and what is the solution?

Please help.

Answer 1

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Could you upload your electrocardiogram (ECG) image? It should show 86 msec. A low-voltage ECG can be a normal variant and may also be seen in obese individuals, smokers, or patients with heart conditions such as fluid around the heart or lung disease. However, if you do not have any symptoms, it is likely a normal variant. Patients with a condition typically experience other symptoms as well.

Thank you for consulting me.

The electrocardiogram (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity) is fine, and there is nothing to worry about regarding the electrocardiogram. What is your weight?

Thanks and regards.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The electrocardiogram is fine. Low voltage is seen only in some peripheral leads, so this level of variation is normal. It does not suggest any specific abnormalities.
