I need some advice on my mom's ECG report. It says she's got a sinus rhythm and something called enlarged PtfV1. What does that mean? Should we be concerned about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The ECG report showing sinus rhythm and a large P wave in lead V1 indicates a possible right atrial enlargement. This could be due to various reasons such as pulmonary hypertension, tricuspid valve disease, or chronic lung disease. It is important to correlate this finding with your mother's clinical symptoms and history. There is no need to worry, but it would be advisable to consult a cardiologist for a detailed evaluation and further management. In the meantime, your mother may benefit from medications like Furosemide to reduce fluid retention and workload on the heart, as well as medications like Digoxin to help regulate the heart rate.

Sinus Rhythm: This indicates a normal heart rhythm, meaning the heart is beating in a regular pattern. It is generally a positive finding on an ECG.
-
Enlarged PtfV1: This refers to a specific wave pattern on the ECG that can suggest changes in the heart's atrium. It doesn't automatically indicate a serious condition but should be evaluated by a doctor.
-
Next Steps: a. Discuss the ECG findings with your mom's healthcare provider. b. Share any symptoms your mom may have to guide further care.
-
Reassurance: Many ECG findings are benign or manageable. Trust your mom's doctor to interpret the results in the context of her overall health.

View allI'm looking for some advice. My husband, who's 29 and weighs around 92 kg, has been feeling a pinching sensation in his chest and some pain in his left arm for about 45 days now. He's a non-smoker, drinks occasionally, and his parents both had heart attacks before. Our cardio doctor suggested a CT coronary angio test, which is non-invasive. About six months ago, he had episodes of increased heartbeats, anxiety, and sweating, and we did a bunch of tests like the 2D Echo Doppler, TMT, and trop T, which all came back normal in September 2018. I'm wondering if this is a good step to take to get more clarity on what's happening with him. Are there any side effects from this test we should be aware of, and is there anything specific we should do to prepare before he takes the test?

I've been dealing with palpitations since 2009, and although I've had some treatment, they haven't completely stoppedjust reduced in frequency. The doctor advised me to take Rivotril when they start, since they never seem to stop on their own. I'm worried about why they persist and if there's something else I could try? Could there be long-term effects if I'm taking Rivotril for so long? Any advice would be appreciated.
Since you have been experiencing palpitations since 2009 and have been advised to take rivotril when they occur, I recommend discussing with your doctor about trying beta-blockers such as Metoprolol at a low dose to help manage the palpitations more effectively. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg once daily, which can be adjusted based on your response. Beta-blockers are commonly used to reduce the frequency and severity of palpitations by regulating the heart rate and rhythm.

I've been noticing that my heart is beating really fast and sometimes skips a beat, and it started about three weeks ago. I just turned 18 and have been masturbating a lot lately; I'm wondering if that's connected. I had an ECG done, and the doctor said my heart is fine, but it doesnt feel normal to me. My heart's never done this before. What steps can I take to get my heart rate back to normal?
