Hi, this may not be the answer you want to hear, but there is much more to take into consideration that just the numbers you have stated above. Rhythm is one example. Another example is if durations are long in the QRS, then you would have to determine if it is right bundle branch block, left bundle branch block, intraventricular conduction delay, Wolfe Parkinson White Syndrome. Axis has to be looked at, hypertrophy, and many other things. The actual EKG itself needs to be viewed. It takes much training to be able to read EKG's. There is so much to be taken into consideration.

My suggestion to you is to let your physician or cardiologist review your results with you in full detail.

Sorry I could not be of further help to you, but most of us here are not doctors and some say they are and may not be, there is no way to know for sure. I know there are probably a few true doctors on this site, from the answers that I have read. But still my advice would be to let your doctor or cardiologist review your EKG with you.

Best wishes to you.
i agree, while you do have to look at the interval lengths, more importantly is the actual waveform. sorry!
figures alone, as stated by previous answerers, are meaningless, unless other parameters are gib¡ven (weight, thyroid function, actual shape of the waves etc) not just the lenght in time of every component of the EKG (waves)
sory, we would need to peep to the actual EKG...in order to help you better...
NOTE: The duration of the waves, and axis, you provide in your figures, are normal, for A PERSON SLIGHTLY OBESE, BETWEEN AGES 45-55.I am not sure about the rest...
