Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS Hello everyone. I had a cardioversion (my second) two days ago which put me back into normal rhythm. The doctor told me that there's an ablation in my future, which is fine with me. I'm a 73 year old man. I performed a Kardia moble EKG yesterday and was overjoyed to see a sinus rhythm for the first time since the new year. But today my Kardia EKG says that I'm in sinus rhythm with wide QRS. I checked the web for info about wide QRS and I can't tell if this is serious or not. I have an appointment with an electrophysiologist on May 19. Am I going to make it? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198970,198970#msg-198970 Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:52:13 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198970,199011#msg-199011 Re: Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198970,199011#msg-199011
And my Kardia “wide QRS” result? GeorgeN was right: probably an artifact.]]> Nepertutto AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 17 Feb 2025 17:46:48 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198970,198981#msg-198981 Re: Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198970,198981#msg-198981 Jeff W AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 16 Feb 2025 19:24:02 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198970,198976#msg-198976 Re: Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198970,198976#msg-198976
This is weird. When I use the Kardia app on my tablet I get a normal sinus rhythm. When I use the app on my phone, I still get "wide QRS". (sigh) I do feel chest sensations (don't know how to describe them, it's not pain) and shortness of breath. But I don't know...

Thanks for listening.]]> Nepertutto AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:19:17 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198970,198975#msg-198975 Re: Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198970,198975#msg-198975 Nepertutto AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 16 Feb 2025 03:57:06 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198970,198973#msg-198973 Re: Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,198970,198973#msg-198973 PS I am not a cardiologist but I am an MD with some expertise in cardiac disorders.
Hope this helps .

But today my Kardia EKG says that I'm in sinus rhythm with wide QRS. I checked the web for info about wide QRS and I can't tell if this is serious or not.

It could be artefact in the Kardia ECG data, I can get a wide QRS reading if I'm not careful in the recording procedure. Wetting the electrodes is very useful, saliva is good as there are electrolytes in it. If it is the original device, the data transmission is via sound (the 6L is via Bluetooth), so recording in a quiet environment with your hands stabilized, like resting on a table is good. Here are some suggestions:
