Question about ECG?

I had to go in emergency today due to abdominal pain, and they had my ECG, and had given me my ECG report to show my family doctor. I'm planning to see my family doctor tomorrow, my ECG report says:
* Sinus Tachycardia with short pr interval
* Abnormal Rhythm ECG

Does anyone know what that means?
Thanks


Answers:

Yes. Sinus tachycardia is fancy for 'fast heartbeat'. Short PR interval, without going into a EKG lesson means that your atria (top chambers of your heart) aren't contracting at the 'normal time'. Honestly, it's rarely a true problem, however it's worth getting looked at.
There are a lot of causes, and a few possible rhythms. I couldn't tell you without seeing the EKG.
