American Heart Association electrocardiogram normal intervals PR QRS QTc ECG interpretation

ECG interpretation: Normal sinus rhythm, normal ECG.
From the printed measurements:
  • Heart rate: 77 beats/min
  • Rhythm: Sinus rhythm, regular, with a P wave before each QRS
  • PR interval: 152 ms - normal
  • QRS duration: 78 ms - narrow/normal, no bundle-branch block
  • QT/QTc: 364/378 ms - QTc is normal
  • Electrical axes (P/QRS/T): 46° / 65° / 41° - normal axis
On review of the tracing, there is no clear acute ST-segment elevation/depression, pathologic Q wave, significant T-wave abnormality, or obvious arrhythmia. The machine also labels it “Normal ECG” and “Sinus rhythm” (marked unconfirmed, as is standard for automated reports).
An ECG measures the heart’s electrical rate and rhythm, but a normal tracing alone does not exclude every cardiac cause of symptoms, as described by the American Heart Association ECG overview.
If this ECG was obtained because of current chest pressure/pain, breathlessness, fainting, sweating, or pain spreading to the arm, jaw, back, or upper abdomen, seek urgent in-person medical assessment even with this result.

The traponine test is negative for above patient.

troponin myocardial infarction diagnosis

2025 ACC AHA guideline acute coronary syndromes serial troponin negative ECG

A negative troponin together with this normal-looking ECG is reassuring and makes an ongoing heart-muscle injury, including a typical heart attack, less likely.
But the result depends on when the blood sample was taken relative to symptom onset and whether it was a high-sensitivity troponin:
  • If symptoms began only recently, the first troponin can still be negative.
  • Clinicians commonly repeat high-sensitivity troponin after 1-2 hours, or conventional troponin after 3-6 hours, when symptoms or timing make the first result inconclusive. The current ACC/AHA acute-coronary-syndrome guidance uses serial ECGs and troponins alongside the clinical assessment.
Practical interpretation
  • Normal ECG + serial negative troponins + symptoms resolved/low clinical risk: acute myocardial infarction is unlikely.
  • It does not fully exclude unstable angina, coronary disease without injury, or non-cardiac causes of chest symptoms. Further assessment depends on the person's symptoms, age, diabetes, smoking, blood pressure, cholesterol, family history, and examination.
If there is ongoing or recurrent chest pressure, shortness of breath, cold sweating, fainting, or pain radiating to an arm, jaw, back, or upper abdomen, they should go to an emergency department now, even with one negative troponin.
