Question:
What does 'loss of anterior precordial forces' mean in an EKG result?

Answer:
by Texas Heart Institute cardiologist, Patrick J. Cook, MD
This wording can mean any of a number of things, and can even be associated with a normal heart. EKGs are a crude gauge and are often falsely abnormal. The results should be interpreted in context with your physician.
