What Does My EKG Test Results Indicate?
Question: Hi my 15 year old just had an ekg. Came back with sinus Bradycardia, ventricular conduction delay with left axis deviation. She has a referral to see a specialist but what should I expect. They have told me wpw is the diagnosis but how severe is it
Brief Answer:
Not dangerous, especially when there are no symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
WPW is a syndrome, when impulses in the heart travel not only on their usual way, but also have an abnormal path. The complication can be an arrhythmia, when a person has fast heart rate, which starts suddenly. Sometimes, people can have those abnormal conduction paths (WPW), but never develope any arrhythmia.
So, if your daughter has no complaints of sudden onset of tachycardia, then nothing to worry.
Hope this was helpful
Wishing your daughter a good health
In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
