Brief Answer:
I would explain as follow:

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,

I carefully reviewed your uploaded ECG, and would explain that it is present normal sinus rhythm, without any evidence of rhythm disorder, no atrio-ventricular or intra-ventricular disturbances, and no repolarization disorders.

The only evidence to consider is the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (increased amplitudes of QRS complexes in precordial leads).

Sometimes this may be the consequence of long standing hypertension.

It is necessary to correlate with the clinical symptomatology.

What are your actual complaints?

Have you suffered from hypertension or any other chronic disorder?

Coming to this point, I recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound, as it is a more specific (in fact the most appropriate) test in investigating cardiac structure and function able to rule in/out ventricular hypertrophy or any other cardiac disorder.

At the end, I would like to assure you that nothing dangerous is shown in your resting ECG.

Just discuss with your attending doctor for possibly performing a cardiac ultrasound (cardiac echo).

I will be glad to review all your medical tests whenever you need!

Feel free to ask me again in case of any other uncertainties.

Regards,

Dr. Iliri

Brief Answer:
My opinion:

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You don’t have actually evidence of cardiac arrhythmia.

Also no presence of XXXXXXX waves, short PR interval or ventricular repolarization abnormalities on ECG (frequently present in WPW).

What is your current medical therapy?

Did you perform any non-pharmacological treatment for arrhythmia (cardiac ablation)?

Your actual ECG, besides the signs of ventricular hypertrophy is considered within normal ranges.

So, don’t worry about!

What about your recent blood pressure values?

Please let me know!

Regards,

Dr. Iliri

Brief Answer:
My opinion:

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Increased blood pressure may be a source of your actual complaint (tiredness).

Just use Nifedipine 10 mg or Captopril 25 mg sublingual for momentary BP control.

I would like to review all the already performed medical tests and your current therapy for giving my concrete opinion on further therapy optimization.

Please provide me with your recent blood pressure values!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
