Brief Answer:
Where was this weakness? Can you say more about it?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the weakness your friend has. If you could provide more information as to the location, duration, severity, past episodes, etc. of this weakness so that I can evaluate and comment on whether this ECG is necessary or not.

I hope to hear back from you and wish you well.

Brief Answer:
THis ECG is normal but for slow hear rate!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed the attached strips. This is normal. But for the slow rate( about 50beats) which can be entirely normal and expected in athletes, there is no reason to be concerned. Is your friend very fit, physically? Then that could be the reason why.

Let me know what your immediate thoughts are.
