Had an ablation done and now my at home ekg is saying wide QRS

Posted by gqjfc @gqjfc, 2 days ago

Had an ablation done a month ago and I bought the kardia device that can run an EKG. Every time I take one it says "wide QRS" . Anyone familiar with this and should I be seen or not a big deal?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart Rhythm Conditions Support Group.

I don't know that the device is calibrated, but assuming it is, and that its verdict is reasonable and veridical (can be proven to be correct), you should run this past your cardiologist ASAP. Long QRS is a potential indicator of a dangerous condition. He/she should offer to conduct an ECG, and it will tell the tale. If it turns out to be unfounded, you will likely want to ditch the Kardia because you won't feel you can rely on it. On the other hand, if it turns out to have saved you a lot of grief by being accurately diagnostic, you can send the company a warm and fuzzy, not to mention enthusiastic, endorsement. 😀
