I have a clear view of the ECG. Let me now provide a thorough interpretation.

ECG Interpretation

Technical Details (from the header):
  • Speed: 25 mm/s
  • Gain: 10 mm/mV (standard)
  • Filter: H50 D 35 Hz
  • Machine measurements: P=38ms / QRS=386ms / QT=412ms / QTc=? / Axis readings: 1.74 / 1.10 / 2.85 mV (RV5/SV1 amp)
  • Labeled: "Unconfirmed Report" - not yet reviewed by physician

Step-by-Step Analysis

1. Rate The rhythm appears regular. Counting the R-R intervals at 25 mm/s, the rate appears approximately 60-75 bpm (normal range).
2. Rhythm
  • P waves are visible and appear to precede each QRS complex
  • The rhythm appears regular
  • Consistent with normal sinus rhythm
3. Axis
  • Lead I: positive QRS
  • Lead aVF: positive QRS
  • This places the axis in the normal quadrant (0 to +90 degrees)
4. P Wave
  • P waves appear present and upright in leads I and II
  • Duration appears normal
5. PR Interval
  • Appears within normal limits (~120-200 ms) - hard to measure precisely at this resolution
6. QRS Complex - KEY FINDING
  • The QRS complexes appear widened - the machine reads QRS = 386 ms - this is markedly prolonged (normal <120 ms)
  • Wait - re-reading the header carefully: the numbers listed are P/QRS/T axis and amplitudes, not necessarily durations. The values 386/412 appear to be in the QT/QTc section. Let me re-examine:
    • The header reads: P: 38 ms | QRS: 24 ms? / 9 ms? | 1.74 / 1.10 / 2.85 mV
    • The 386 and 412 values likely represent QT = 386 ms and QTc = 412 ms
6. QRS Morphology Looking at the 12 leads:
  • Leads V4-V6: Large, tall R waves
  • Leads V1-V3: Deep S waves
  • aVL: Prominent R wave
  • RV5/SV1 amplitude = 2.85 mV (28.5 mm) - noted in the header
Sokolow-Lyon Criterion for LVH: S in V1 + R in V5 or V6 ≥ 35 mm
  • The machine reports RV5 amp 1.74 mV + SV1 amp 1.10 mV = 2.84 mV (28.4 mm) - just below the classic threshold, but the combined value of 2.85 mV noted may represent voltage approaching the criterion.
7. ST Segments and T Waves
  • In the lateral leads (V5, V6, I, aVL): there appear to be ST depression and T wave inversion - the classic "strain pattern"
  • This is consistent with LV strain / LVH with repolarization abnormality
8. QT/QTc
  • QT ~386 ms, QTc ~412 ms - normal (QTc <440 ms in males, <460 ms in females)

Primary Interpretation: Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) with Strain Pattern

The combination of:
  1. Increased precordial voltage (RV5+SV1 approaching/meeting voltage criteria)
  2. ST depression and T-wave inversion in lateral leads (I, aVL, V5, V6)
  3. The machine's own amplitude measurements (RV5/SV1 = 1.74/1.10 mV, combined 2.85 mV)
...is characteristic of LVH with repolarization strain, commonly seen in:
  • Hypertension (most common cause)
  • Aortic stenosis
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • Aortic regurgitation
