Trying to understand ECG/EKG

[Fabfibber]

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all. Wishing you all the best on your health journeys for the year ahead.

Calling on anyone who understands ECGs and/or has an Apple Watch. Below is trace of my ECG at 74 BPM. I have appointment with cardiologist in 5 weeks time and will ask him, however, the more Information I can get now, the better my chances of getting answers from the cardio. I can see that my ECG is not the same as the ECGs one sees on websites (text book ECG). Of most concern is that my ECG has S point that does not drop below the isoelectric line (what are the implications?). I have searched, but have not found information on what the perfect ECG trace looks like on Apple Watch. Apple does not provide any Information that I could find. What I really want to know is, what does this trace reveal (abnormalities).

Cheers

I would have said none.

No abnormalities and very regular so no AF

Looks like a perfectly normal ECG to me. Many people here would kill for one like that!

I think you’re just showing off!! 😉

Reading ECG’s is not easy, most GP’s find it a challenge, therefore us poor, non medically trained mortals have got no chance so not withstanding your comments about your S point, it all looks pretty good to me too!

Holiday greetings to you too 👍

I’ve got the Apple Watch 6 and looks like most of mine when not in af 👍

NSR, no evidence of ischemia or other abnormalities..Normal EKG

I'd love mine to look like that! It's telling you it's normal, no AF and a steady beat. Mine isn't terrible but it's obviously AF and a lot faster.

I wish that mine looked like yours but sadly not

Happy New Year everyone

Have a look at ecglibrary.com, it has more about reading them than anyone could wish for

This appears to be a normal Lead II recording as you would see on a twelve lead ECG. The standard Kardia displays Lead II conventionally.

Thanks for replies gals and guys. wishing you all a fab and fib-free New year.

Look out for replies from DrDave01 as above. He invented the Kardia.

Thanks Bill64. I saw Dr Dave's reply. Did not know he invented Kardia.

Thanks, much appreciated.

I’ve been using the watch for a few years and LOVE it, but you can get drawn down a rabbit hole. When it catches afib it’s really obvious. What you’re showing looks normal to me. Are you feeling ‘funny’ beats or other symptoms but worried that the watch isn’t catching them?
