I like reading the Savages. And on a serious note based on the information you provided. The response from Exercise Physiological Student suffices. I also worked Cardiac Care for 16 years and it's not advice. But common for endurance athletes to have the ECG results you mentioned.
rsr pops up on ekgs. In some situations it could mean conduction defects in the right ventricle. But it’s usually an over read by the ekg machine - there’s a rsr but none of the other criteria for a block.
your asking LRC readers to interpret ECG results? you're screwed from the get-go.
how about going to a doctor Einstein?????
Where did you get your ekg done? I had one done on Tuesday in my Dr. Office. The nurse hooked me up and a few minutes later a paper printed out. Dr. Walked in, looked at the paper and said, that is a healthy rhythm.

How about:
left ventricular high voltage

Bradycardia and sinus arrhythmia are normal for young athletes. So is an rsr pattern in V1.
The criteria for left ventricular high voltage are made for people older than 35; they yield a lot of (false) positive results in younger people.
High T-wave: normal.

can't say for sure without seeing full 12 leads but these are all findings common in endurance athletes. the automatic interpretations are often worthless though

No point asking a regular general practioner. Also no to another poster you don't need years of training to explain what 'bradycardia' means. It means your resting heart rate is under 60. Surprise surprise.
Well, that wasn’t very nice. I’m not sure if “high T wave” means peaked T (MI, elevated k+ levels) or just an odd electrical conduction abnormality of the ventricle (t wave is repolarization of the ventricle). It would also depend on which leads had the abnormalities for further specifics. I think the biggest question was why it was ordered in the first place. Call your doctor. That’s the first place to start- not looking for answers on a running message board that can’t even offer reliable running advice/facts.
Well, as he said, the EKG was offered for free as part of his health checkup. No issue brought him in for care.
Wouldn't it be better to speak with YOUR cardiologist, or perhaps a sports cardiologist or electrophysiologist instead of random peeps on here?
Do you know who writes programs for automated interpretation of EKGs?
Malpractice lawyers.
I've heard this joke a few times in the ER world. It pokes fun at the fact that automated interpretation is notoriously unreliable. It's so bad it often seems deliberately incorrect.
Wait to see what a qualified professional says.
same here. Freaked me out over a false alarm.
