Chest pains borderline ecg help!!

Posted , 2 users are following.

I’ve been having chest pains on and off for 4 years I’ve had holter monitor, echo, mutliable blood tests and ecg’s nothing had come up. I had 2 ecg this morning they both come up borderline with moderate intraventical conduction delay and low qrs voltage in percordial leads, the doctor said that the ecg was fine but didn’t explain what all that meant, I’ve googled it and it’s saying that it’s a blockage in the heart!!

    Sounds to me like he means a branch bundle block, the electrical impulses are just not getting through to make your heart beat correctly.

    It can be a problem, you need to see a electro-cardiologist, that what my husband had-has, he eventually needed a pacemaker to make both sides of his ventricle's beat together, but you don't get one, not even recommended until your heart ejection fraction starts to fall as I understand it.

    Do not accept being fobbed off by your Dr, insist he explains to you what he is talking about, saying to you a blockage of the heart only really frightens you rather than making you feel better is making you worse with worry.

    I suspect to are thinking do I have clogged arteries, and are they blocked up, NO, not related.

    Look up left and right branch bundles, they are nerves that relay the electrical impulses to the muscle to make it beat, and any delay in those nerves are called a blockage.

    I assume you have seen a cardiologist to get your echocardiogram, how long ago was that, and has your pain got worse since that echo, if so I suspect to need to have another echo done.

      Hi Lyn the doctor never said there was a blockage, the report on top of the ecg said borderline with moderate interventcial conduction delay & low qrs voltage in percordial leads. My doctor said my ecg looked good but I’m unsure what all this means?
