ECG Interpretation
Patient: Male, Age 38 | ID: 20260731230810 | Name: Thirupathi
Settings: Speed 25 mm/s | Filter 0.5-35 Hz, AC 50 Hz | Gain 10 mm/mV
Organization: Health Haven
Technical Quality
There is significant baseline wander and muscle tremor artifact visible across several leads (I, II, III, aVR, V1), which slightly limits interpretation. The overall tracing is still interpretable.
Systematic Interpretation
| Parameter | Finding |
|---|
| Heart Rate | ~74 bpm (within normal range) |
| Rhythm | Regular sinus rhythm |
| P waves | Present and upright in inferior leads; appear normal in morphology |
| PR interval | Appears within normal limits (~160-180 ms) |
| QRS duration | Appears narrow (~80-100 ms) |
| QRS axis | Normal axis |
Lead-by-Lead Analysis
Limb Leads (Image 2 - I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF):
- Lead I: Low amplitude with significant artifact; QRS appears normally oriented
- Lead II: Sinus P waves visible; normal QRS morphology
- Lead III: Some baseline artifact
- aVR: Expected negative deflection
- aVL: Small QRS complexes
- aVF: Upright QRS - consistent with normal inferior axis
Precordial Leads (Image 1 - V1 to V6):
- V1: rS pattern - normal for right precordial lead; no dominant R
- V2: Small r wave, relatively deep S - suggesting poor R wave progression or normal variant
- V3: Transitional zone; r wave beginning to increase
- V4: R wave becoming dominant - transition zone appears around V3-V4
- V5: Taller R waves; no significant ST changes visible
- V6: Upright QRS with normal morphology
Key Observations
-
ST segments: No definitive ST elevation or depression is seen across the precordial leads. Baseline artifact makes assessment in some limb leads difficult.
-
T waves: Appear upright in lateral precordial leads (V4-V6), which is normal. T wave morphology in V1-V2 appears to have some flattening (partly due to artifact).
-
Q waves: No pathological Q waves identified.
-
QTc: Machine-recorded values are partially obscured but appear within normal range.
-
R wave progression: Normal R wave progression from V1 to V6.
Impression
Normal sinus rhythm at ~74 bpm with no acute ischemic changes identified. No significant ST-T abnormalities. Normal R wave progression. Significant baseline artifact in limb leads reduces certainty for limb lead assessment.
Differential considerations given the artifact:
- The tremor artifact, especially in leads I and III, should prompt ensuring good electrode contact if the ECG needs to be repeated
- At age 38 with a normal-looking tracing, no acute pathology is evident on this recording
