Question: Hi, I just received an EKG by mail and I'm instructed to review it with a cardiologist. I'm hoping I can do this online.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the EKG report attached with this query. You have a sinus bradycardia with inferior Q waves. These findings are indicative of right coronary artery occlusion with may be an old infarction.
I would suggest get yourself examined by a Cardiologist and get a master health check up done if it has been more than 6 months. Further investigations like Echocardiography, Holter monitor and angiography are needed for exact diagnosis. Clinical correlation with the signs and symptoms is also necessary to initiate a proper treatment.

Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
