Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,

I have gone through your concern carefully.

Deviating waveform is indicating a possible artefarct. The fact that you are not having any symptom although the waveform presence, is strongly indicating artefact. I need to have the tracing report before final conclusions. So far, did not receive it. Can resend at the following e-mail address:

If you feel any unusual symptom, you can go to ER for further evaluation and treatment.

Looking forward to have the reports in!

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

I have gone through your ECG report and I did not find anything worrisome.

From what I have seen, the findings are indicating:

- artefacts
- you have been moving while running ECG
- the apparatus was too near to body giving false reports

Overall, nothing worrisome, everything normal.
