Hi Carey. Thanks for the info and confirmation of Atrial Flutter. The graph would look just the same to me upside down.

I'm wondering why sometimes the "QRS" is shorter sometimes.

The width of the QRS measures how long it takes for the electrical signal to travel through the ventricles. It's usually measured as the distance between the Q wave and the T wave and is therefore called the QT interval. An abnormally wide QT interval is an indicator of heart disease, and can also be caused by some drugs.

I should have said the "height" of the QRS. Does your answer still apply?

would a normal QT mean there is no occurrence of heart disease.

Hi Carey, you definitely appear to be the man for these ECG printouts.
I find your point about the QT interval interesting, would a normal QT mean there is no occurrence of heart disease.
I ask because when I first started out on this Afib/AFL journey the doc said I had a heart calcification score of 105 (400 is very high) however that 105 was scattered around my heart so no big deal at all which probably meant I was a true Lone Afibber. I doubt they use that method of calcification scoring anymore as it was carried out in Macau China 2006.
On finding out I had some calcification in my heart arteries I went on a dramatic exercise to clear the arteries by very large daily doses of Vitamin C up to 10,000mg per day along with 4000mg of Lyscine and 1000mg of Proline as per the recommendation of the Linus Pauling protocol. I followed this protocol religiously for until I was freed of AFib in 2010 when I gradually dropped the Lysine and Proline but still take 3000 of Vit C Crystals daily purchased via this websites connection with the iHerb store. I have often wondered if the protocol cleared the arteries and for sure I seem to have a Rolls Royce RB211 mechanical heart with problematic notorious poor English Lucas Electrics.
So Carey how does my QT shape up in your opinion if you would care to check for me no matter good or bad result.
Cheers Barry G.

I once read that iodine deficiency is a cause of Afib hence my getting deeply into the subject.

I had recently increased potassium iodide (liquid) supplementation to 1g/day. After the episode converted I stopped the supplementation for a couple of months. I then decided to be scientific about it, as the episode was a cake walk and I’d lost my fear of AF anyway, so I reintroduced the same potassium iodide supplement at the same level. About a month later I had an AF episode that thankfully only lasted a few minutes. I dropped the supplement to 250ug/day and have not had a repeat since.
