Are Slight Inferior Repolarization Disturbance And High HDL A Matter Of Concern?

Greetings, I just recently had a EKG and it was reported as slight inferior repolarization disturbance, consider ischemia, LV overload aspecific change Boarderline ECG. I am 53 y.o., and very athletic. My cholesterol readings were a bit high but it was due to my HDL being higher than normal. (Cholesterol-210, HDL-74, LDL 133). (Weight 170/Height 67 , muscular and high endurance). I just retired from the special ops navy community. I will be doing a follow up with a cardiologist. Never had any heart issues and there s nothing noted in my family history.

Hi,

Though I wish I could see the actual ECG, the report you mention is often given when there is a small abnormality in the T wave. Most often this is a normal variant, meaning that there is nothing wrong with your heart, some people just have this abnormality. Your cardiologist will probably ask you about any symptoms you have had, especially chest pain. If you had any previous ECG's it would be helpful to compare them. However, given the rest of your history, if there's no chest pain, I would say there is nothing to worry about.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
