Dear patient,
Thanks for the query. The ECG sometimes can give false positives about a heart scar, that usually manifests as a Q wave in the ECG. Your body composition, medications, other diseases, etc, can imprint similar changes in the ECG. The Echo is far more sensitive so if this was normal, I would disregard the ECG appearance.
Hope this helps, wish you the best,
