Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It shows sinus bradycardia with a heart rate of 55 to 60 beats per minute, along with a right bundle branch block and left axis deviation. There are no significant ST-T abnormalities observed. This could be due to age or hypertension-related changes. Further evaluation is needed, including an echocardiogram, to rule out the possibility of coronary artery disease. You should undergo an echocardiogram, and if the results are normal, a stress test such as stress thallium or CT (computed tomography) coronary angiography can be performed to rule out structural heart disease. Additionally, a thyroid profile should be done.

Regards.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Do I need an immediate examination? Can I take these tests after three to four days?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If you do not have symptoms such as chest pain, heaviness, shortness of breath, or dizziness, then there is nothing urgent, and the tests can be done within a week or two.

Thanks and regards.
