What Does Ambulatory Electrocardiography Test Report Indicate?

Posted on Sat, 8 Nov 2014

Question: I had a 24 hour Ambulatory electrocardiography done and they did not explain my results. I went down and got copies of the tests today. It doesnt say if it was normal or abnormal. how would I read this or figure it out? I am having a bunch of pulmonary test done this week and I'd like to understand what this says.

Brief Answer:
Normal 24 hour ECG monitoring, upload the ECG image...

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome back again!

I have read the ECG 24 hour monitoring report and would like to say that It's normal.
- Your rhythm was regular (sinus rhythm) with a variation of heart rate between 45-144 beats per minute, which is a normal finding.
- During 24 hours of monitoring were recorded only 8 supraventricular and 2 ventricular premature complexes, which is a normal finding too.
- No other anomalies were observed.

You have to send only ECG machine report which has a large degree of wrong ECG interpretation. This is why always is recommended that the report should be checked by a doctor. If I don't have the ECG image I can't confirm the ECG machine report.

Can you upload the ECG image for me?

Hope this was of help!

For me is more like misinterpretation...

Detailed Answer:
Hi again!

Based on what i have seen is more like an ECG machine misinterpretation than an abnormal ECG.

Hope this answer all your question!
