    Cardiac Echo and heart rate
    I went for an EKG the other day, and noticed that my heart rate would turn red on top during the Q-R-S cycle every couple of beats. Does this indicate something or does the machine do this?

    First, it would be good to know why you had to have this done at your age. Also, what was your heart rate?

    Chest pain... and they thought they heard a murmur.
    I just went back last week and they said I was fine though... except for the pain every now and again.
    No idea what my heart rate is though.
    Thanks!
