DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM
YES ECG CAN BE USED TO DIAGNOSE THE PRESENCE OF BLOCK BUT IT WONT GIVE YOU THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE BLOCK
AN ANGIOGRAPHY WILL HELP YOU DIAGNOSE THE EXACT AREA AND SITE OF THE BLOCK AND IF ANY OTHER TREATMENT IS REQUIRED
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
