Hi welcome to HCM.
Abnormal ECG warrants further investigation in the form of treadmill testing and 2 dimensional echo of the heart.Most of the times the interpretations of ecg are machine operated and can be non specific.Hence an abnormal ecg need not be of concern all the time.In case if the TMT testing and 2 d echo are within the normal limits,then you can be rest assured.Consult your cardiologist for further help.Thank you
