Brief Answer:
Not abnormal

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Mr. XXXX! Welcome to HCM. I am Dr. Meriton. I understand your concern.

Any non-specific change in the EKG registration means that there may be, with high or low probability, any pathological process, but it, with the lowest probability possible, has to do with the heart. Therefore. I would suggest you, combining with your young age pf 41-years old, that there is nothing to worry about or anything acute to happen to your heart. I would, however, just to be "in the safe are", recommend you to do an echocardiogram. This is done to evaluate the heart structures, such as heart muscle and valves, in concept of size, motility and function. To my concern, as a cardiologist, these EKG finding are not worrisome.

I hope I was helpful and informative with my answer. Should you have further questions, I would be happy to help. Wish you a long and healthy life.

Best regards,
Dr. Meriton

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back, Mr. XXXX. Dr. Meriton here.

Thank you for providing your EKG report, because now I can "put my head in rest" about the answer I provided. There is nothing wrong, at least acutely, with your EKG. A change in one single EKG lead is not indicative of any pathological issue. This is a normal EKG, with a sinus rhythm and a frequency of approximately 75 beats per minute, and the negative T wave in V3 requires to be accompanied with similar changes in one more leads, to be even considered as abnormal. Do an echocardiogram, as we agreed upon, just to exclude every possible problem with your heart.

I hope this helps. If you do not have further clarifications, please close the discussion and rate the answer.

My kind regards,
Dr. Meriton

Brief Answer:
Normal accetable heart rate

Detailed Answer:
Hello again, Mr. XXXX!

Normal heart rate is 60-100 heart beats per minute, while resting. However, to us it is accepted down to 48 beats per minutes, and during a day there are various changes in hormonal peak and XXXXXXX levels, that exert the effect on the sinus node, by speeding up pr slowing down the heart rate. No relation between this heart rate and that insignificant negative T wave found in only one lead, whatsoever.

I hope this is clarifying. Best regards.
