Question: Had an ekg yesterday. Anything to be alarmed about? the results are are follows: p/pr 110/168; QT/QTc 410/479ms; P/QRS/T Axis: 67/20/60 deg;HR 82BPM; Sinus rythm RSR in V1; long QT interval, consider hypocalcaemia or quinidine-like drug; borderline ECG
Brief Answer:
No major concerns
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
Thansk a lot for your query. We have a right bundle branch block, which is a benign abnormality found in elderly patients with hypertension (such as yourself); the QT interval is slightly prolonged (normal is in theory less than 440) but again, it may not be taking into the account the bundle branch block. When we do, we adjust for that and usually substract 50 ms from that value, so 429 would be the QTC, normal for our standards.
If you upload it, I can take a look at the tracing too.
Hope this helps, wish you the best,
