ECG's are only as useful as the person reporing them.
Unfortunately they are frequently recorded by someone unskilled in reporting them but are analysed by software of inexpert nature which then produces a "report".
I am sorry for those who have been disturbed by this process.
One should always immediately ask to have a cardiologist look at the ECG in these circumstances.
Many times the computer is wrong or an incorrect result results from leads being misplaced.
Most of you who are fit and exercise should have sinus bradycardia on the resting ECG ( heart rate less than 60).
In fact many will have heart rates in the 40-50 range during sleep.
I have seen rates of 28 in sleeping endurance athletes.
In other words the ECG should NEVER be interpreted in isolation but only as part of the health review.
