What causes spikes in EKG reading?
Patient: my dad went to his cardo doctor and he did a ekg and told him that he had some abnormal spikes so he wants him to have a echocardiogram. All most a year ago he had a triple bypass and they said his heart muscle had no damage so is this something to be alarmed about?? Doctor: I don't think so there is some alarming however patient undergone CABG must continue the medications prescribed and requires yearly heart examination as adivsed by cardiologist and surgeon.Irregular spikes could be ectopics beats . Please consult your Doctor .Get your electrolytes done as it may be due to deranged electrolytes.Regards
