Heart Rhythm

Heart Rhythm

The electrodes placed on your body during your ECG (electrocardiogram) detect the electrical impulses coming from different parts of your heart. There are normal patterns for each electrode and variances in these patterns (and the shape of the waves) indicate the health of your heart. The primary purposes of the limb-lead screening ECG are to detect rhythm disturbances – especially atrial fibrillation – and conduction abnormalities. However, it is always important to appreciate that a normal ECG does not rule out a serious heart disease. For example, you may have an irregular heart rhythm that ‘comes and goes’ and the recording can be normal between episodes.

Overview

Your heart rhythm check has been given a green flag as no significant abnormalities were detected on your ECG.

Resting heart rate

49 - 79

80 - 84

>= 85

Resting heart rate

Your resting heart rate result has been given a green flag as it is within the recommended range for a person of your age and sex. As you become fitter through increasing your level of exercise your heart becomes more efficient at pumping blood around your body. If you do not take any regular medications (such as beta blockers) a lower resting heart rate can also be an indication of a high level of fitness.

Heart rhythm

None

Heart rhythm

Your heart rhythm is normal (sinus rhythm). Bear in mind some heart rhythm disturbances can be intermittent, so speak to your GP if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations or unexplained dizziness.

Pause

No

Pause

Your pause result is within the recommended range. Normal pauses in your heart`s natural pacemaker (sinus node) are no greater than 2 seconds.

Ventricular ectopics

Not observed

Ventricular ectopics

Your result is normal, as no extra beats from the lower chambers of your heart (ectopics) were seen.

Supraventricular ectopics

Not observed

Supraventricular ectopics

No extra beats from the atria (upper chambers) of your heart were seen. Supraventricular ectopics are heart beats that occur outside of the sinoatrial node (SA) which is your heart's natural pacemaker.

Heart axis

Normal

Heart axis

Your heart axis result is within the recommended limits. The heart axis represents the overall direction of the electrical activity of the heart and provides information about the health of the conduction system and the size and shape of the heart.

P-wave morphology

Normal

P-wave morphology

The shape of your P-waves is normal. The P-wave represents the electrical activity of the atria (upper chambers) of the heart.

PR interval

Normal

PR interval

Your PR interval result is within the recommended range. The PR interval represents the period during which the electrical impulse is transmitted to the ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart. Abnormalities of the conducting system can either lengthen or shorten the PR interval and affect the electrical conduction between the atria and the ventricles (AV conduction).

AV conduction

Within Normal Limits

AV conduction

Your atrioventricular (AV) conduction time is normal. AV conduction is the time taken for the atrial impulse to travel from the atria (upper chambers) to the ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart, where it stimulates the ventricles to contract.

Q wave

Within Normal Limits

Q wave

Your Q-waves are within normal limits. A Q-wave is any dip in the tracing after the P-wave and small defections generally represent the electrical activity of the area between the two lower chambers of the heart.

QRS length

Normal

QRS length

The length of your QRS complex is normal. The QRS complex represents the electrical impulse travelling through the ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart.

QRS shape

Within Normal Limits

QRS shape

Your QRS shape result is within normal limits. The QRS complex represents the electrical impulse travelling through the ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart. The length and shape of the QRS complex assists in diagnosing heart rhythm disturbances, conduction abnormalities and heart enlargement.

QTc interval

Normal

QTc interval

Your QTc interval result is within recommended limits. The QT interval represents the electrical activation and recovery of the ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart. Because the QT interval is affected by the heart rate, a correction is made - hence QTc.

ST segment

ST Segment Within Normal Limits

ST segment

Your ST segment is within recommended limits. The ST segment follows the QRS complex and is normally electrically neutral (flat). Any elevation or depression of the ST segment may indicate reduced blood supply to the heart muscle.

T-wave morphology

Within Normal Limits

T-wave morphology

Your T-waves are normal. The T wave represents electrical recovery of the ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart. Flat or inverted T-waves can indicate compromised blood supply to the heart, conduction disturbances, or an enlarged left ventricle.
