Question : What does Undefined Rhythm in my ECG report indicate? Is my ECG report ok?

Answered by Dr. Neel Kudchadkar (29 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Note that there might be a slight blood deficit in your heart.

Detailed Answer:
Hi!

I would explain it to you in a rather simple fashion. I have meticulously examined your ECG. There is nothing sinister or to be worried about given the fact that many medications are available to you today to help you. The undefined rhythm is most probably due to ischemia of the heart. These points being noted, I would kindly request you to undergo some investigations to determine if you have got any blocks in the coronary arteries. Even if you do have, they can be dissolved by drugs or they can be ablated with fine catheters. These are painless options.

Thanks,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
