For determining whether everything is working as it should in my body I decided to do a preventive medial checkup before my main race in Zell am See. During this checkup my blood and urine where examined. Due to special conditions (e.g. if you are an athlete) a ECG is written to determine whether the heart is working correctly.
The doctors told me to leave because my results from the first two investigations was no abnormality detected (NAD) and my results from ECG need more time.

A few days later I received an envelope with my ECG results in it. The results said that an extended QT interval was detected. At first I did not know what this results mean so I investigated a little bit in internet. I found out that this medical issue can lead to arrhythmia in the worst case. Therefore, I decided to do some further tests at LKH Graz to see whether I can train and do my sport in the future without concerns.

UPDATE:

Todays exploration relieved myself very much. Another ECG said that the situation is not as much concerning as it sounded before. Also the time values are smaller than detected in the first place.
On next Sunday there will be another investigation where an ultrasound exploration of my heart is done and a stress ECG will be done. For now I have to train hard to reach this week’s goals.
Of course I will post all results here.

UPDATE:

Today I had an ultrasound investigation at cardiology department of LKH Graz followed by a stress ECG. Both investigations gave me the all-clear. So I can reject all previous results and focus on the race on the weekend in Fürstenfeld and on Ironman 70.3 in Zell am See in August.
