Kardia t wave accuracy

[SlothOnSpeed]

Anyone ever diagnosed a problem using Kardia in terms of t waves? Obviously not looking for a diagnosis, just wondering if someone had a similar experience.

Only symptom is a pounding feeling. Rate is slow.

Thanks

I’m guessing it’s a contact or placement issue with the device. If you feel well, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. You could try wetting the contact spots and trying again.

I know if I take an ecg on my watch or Kardia and I’m lying down, I get very low voltage - but all segments, not just t.

Thanks for taking a look, ForensicFairy.

I do get traces similar to yours and that pounding heart with normal HR but then my trace shows wide QRS and yours is normal so I tend to agree and think that it could be interference but no harm in showing the trace to your cardiologist if you are concerned.

Thanks, will do

Slow flutter? It does look odd, I’d have it checked out.

[SlothOnSpeed in reply to Buffafly]

Did have flutter some time ago. Didn’t even think of that. Thanks.

What did the Kardia say it was? Mine always comes up with something and fortunately, now with the Flecainide back, it is usually normal!

Hi Vonnegut, no, my issue is not with the rhythm. Thats sinus and fine. I was looking at the horizontal t waves.

If you want to scare yourself, or even find some reassurance,🤔, it's difficult to resist a bit of online research ...

Good luck.

Mmmm, yes, looks like I may be death’s door ;(

No, I thought the final "flattened T Waves" section was the least "frightening" of all the categories ... and most positively caused by electrolytes.🤔

Hope you find some expert help to move forward with this. bob.

😆 I don’t scare easily.

Looks like mine. Hardly any T waves and sometimes negative. Doc thought it could be low potasium but I've had my electrolytes checked but all seems normal.

[SlothOnSpeed in reply to Palpman]

I will def have that checked out.
