What Is Aspecific,change And Inferior Infarc In EKGs?
I have had a few EKGs taken in the last 8 months I am worried because my march of 2011 results said "minor inferior repolarization disturbance consider ischemia or aspecific,change"". I recently took another test and this time it "inferior infarc". Can somebody help me know what this means.
Thanks

Hello ,
You are talking about the interpretation of the machine .
This is false in 40 % cases and depends on the the lead placement and number of other factors .
However inferior wall infarction means a small heart attack has happened which was probably silent .
It's safer if you can upload the ecg so I can interpret it for you and consider seeing a doctor and get 2 d echocardiography and symptom limited stress test for a complete diagnosis.
