HI Usually A change in Lead Means a Change in your regular heart rhythm from last time you were tested with the EKG. This could be anything from a Past MI (heart attack), a change in heart rate (faster or Slower) or to your minor PVC's which are caused by Caffiene and smoking. You should see the cardiologist just to be safe. A
