Last week I went to see a doctor(GP) about the palpitations I'd been having as a result of stress because of the arguments I'd had with my husband, remember? Well, that was at the hospital near my house so, he did an EKG and also a chest x-ray. I got the results today but there's something funny here: the EKG was done by this nice enough nurse, but didn't seem too sure of what she was doing. Before I was called in for the exam, I overheard a conversation between her and another worker about some nasty comment someone else had made about her, and I even remember thinking to myself that she was in a terrible mood, but said nothing. She was polite but as she started to operate the machine it wouldn't work properly and just kept making this annoying beeping noise. After a while she finally managed but I came home with a bad feeling about the whole thing. I might've been right and here's where you, my friends, come into it. I've just got back from the hospital and although the EKG result was in Portuguese obviously, I think you might be able to understand it and help me figure out if it makes any sense:

Conclusion:
-sinais de sobrecarga ventricular esquerda
-fibrose septal
-alteração da repolarização ventricular em paredes inferior e ântero-lateral

Now, what on Earth does all this mean? I'm going to see my cardio a week from Wednesday, but I couldn't help getting curious about it. And if it is accurate after all, does this mean that the time for my fourth surgery is getting closer?? :confused: Thanks for any information and/or opinion in advance.

Hola! or Hello! or however you say it in portuguese

Something about left ventricular overload, thickening or fibrous septum, and altered repolarization below (or bottom?) front and side ventricular walls. I have no idea what that means medically, though. Sorry :rolleyes:
 
Oi or olá!

Oi or olá!

Now that you've put it into English for me, I hope someone will come forward to explain what it means!?? Thanks a lot for your help!!
Débora :confused:
