I have gone through your ECG. The main finding I see is low voltage QRS complexes. This means the electrical signals picked up from the heart are smaller than usual. It describes the tracing and is not a diagnosis by itself. Low voltage has several possible causes. Some lie outside the heart, such as extra tissue between the heart and the chest leads, lung conditions like emphysema, or an underactive thyroid. Some relate to the heart itself. The most important of these is fluid collecting around the heart (pericardial effusion), and less commonly, changes in the heart muscle. Lead placement and machine settings can also produce it. About the words "ischemic ST changes" on your report. That line is usually printed by the ECG machine's automatic software, and these automatic readings often over-call minor ST and T wave changes, particularly in women. It is not proof of a blocked artery. A cardiologist has to read the tracing along with your symptoms. The reason the ECG was done also matters a great deal. If it was done to evaluate chest pain, please know that a resting ECG can be misleadingly normal in some patients. It records only a few seconds of the heart at rest, and many people with significant narrowing of the heart arteries have a normal or near normal ECG when they are not having pain. So in someone with chest pain, an ECG alone cannot rule out heart disease.
Next Steps
This ECG needs to be correlated with an echocardiogram. An echo directly shows whether there is any fluid around the heart and how well the heart muscle is pumping, which is the key question raised by low voltage. Get the echo done and have it reviewed along with this ECG by a cardiologist, in person or online. A thyroid test (TSH) is also worth doing. If the ECG was done for chest pain, the cardiologist will decide from your symptoms and risk factors whether you need further testing, such as a treadmill test, stress echo or CT coronary angiography.
Health Tips
If you get chest pain at rest, pain lasting more than 15 to 20 minutes, breathlessness, sweating or fainting, go to the nearest emergency straight away and ask for a repeat ECG and a troponin blood test. Otherwise, there is no need to panic over this report. Low voltage is a finding that needs an echo to explain it, and in most people the explanation turns out to be manageable.
