What does this mean anyone know?

ECG in 2011 said ( ST (downward arrow) ll, lll avf, v4-v6

I am guessing ST depression but rest is a mystery

Hi,

Aside from the BHF nurses who are only on here weekdays, no one on here is qualified to read an ECG. If you have concerns you'd be better off seeing your GP. That said you are asking about a 6 year old ECG, again any concerns you gave are better directed at your GP or cardiologist

I was only asking just in case. I am very new to this site. The ECG is always like this if I had it done today it would be the same as other ECG s looked exactly the same. My diabetes consultant gave me a copy so I can show drs because it is unusual to have an ECG like that and NOT be having a heart attack apparently.

Hi there - you're right that this means ST depression, and the rest are simply the names of the leads on the ECG machine. Each lead looks at the heart from a different angle so that we can get a global picture of your heart function.

I hope this helps,

Chris
