wgarry Forum Newbies Offline I Love YaBB 2! Posts: 5	Ecg results Dec 18^th, 2010, 2:44am I had a ecg with my cardioligist, on the report he sent my dr it said my ecg showed some suggestion of saddle shaped st changes in v5 an v6 and possibly in lead ll. Does anyone have any idea what this means??

Okay saddle-shaped ST segments would tend to indicate the presence of pericarditis, but it is typically confluent throughout the leads and is most often accompanied by complaints of rather judicious pain by the patient.

I would suggest that your physician simply repeat the ECG in several days and I think you'll find it to be unremarkable.

Best regards and Good Health
