Posted on Thu, 21 Sep 2017

Brief Answer:
Its an age related change

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through the ecg and there are nonsignificant changes in the ecg which are age related. So it should be considered as normal and does not indicate any serious disease.
rSr' pattern usually suggests changes in conducting system of heart called as right bundle branch block, but here it doesn't meet the criteria for that even.
So there is no need to worry about it and it's a normal ecg with nonsignificant changes.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.

Thank you doctor. I'm hereby attaching echo and tmt report of my father. In echo, it says grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. Can I know what it is? Is it alarming?

Brief Answer:
Reports are fine.

Detailed Answer:
I have gone through the reports. They are fine. Diastolic dysfunction is likely a age related change. No need to worry about it. Its also seen in patients with high bp so get it regularly checked. Otherwise, no need to worry and needs no treatment. All the best.

Brief Answer:
Echo is fine

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through the repeat echo and it shows trivial to mild regurgitation which means leakages in the valves which is very well acceptable. Mild pulmonary artery hypertension is indirectly calculated through such mild leakages.

These are mild and age related changes, no need to worry about these.

Hope that clears your doubts.
