Borderline QRS axis (-16°): Mild leftward shift. In isolation this is often a normal variant, but in a 53-year-old female consider correlation with history of hypertension, coronary artery disease, or early left anterior fascicular block (LAFB). LAFB classically shows axis between -45° and -90° with rS in II, III, aVF and qR in I, aVL - this tracing does not meet full LAFB criteria.
-
QTc 428 ms: Normal but should be monitored if the patient is prescribed QT-prolonging drugs (antiarrhythmics, antihistamines, fluoroquinolones, antipsychotics), especially relevant in female sex (inherently longer QTc baseline).
-
Rate 92 bpm: Mild sinus tachycardia territory. Evaluate for pain, anxiety, anemia, fever, thyroid disease, or dehydration as contributing factors.
-
PR 120 ms: Low-normal; no delta waves, no short PR with accessory pathway physiology evident.
-
Machine reads "Normal ECG" - the automated Glasgow algorithm (V28.6.0) confirms normality, consistent with visual interpretation.
