What Does This ECG Report With Normal Stress Test Indicate?

Posted on Wed, 30 Jul 2014

Question: Hi,

I had a cardiology appointment yesterday and the ECG came back Saying "Abnormal Cannot rule out L Anterior Infarc". The Cardiologist wasn't concerned. I have a history of abnormal ECGs and a strong family history of CAD. Two previous Stress Echos 2005/2009 were both normal. My BP is great 107/70...but the cholesteral is high...My next Stree-Echo is next week...should I be worried?
Can they actually do something to help if there is a problem?

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcare Magic.

I went through your query and understood your concerns.

ECG wave pattern do affected by body movements from breathing . ECG findings are not always definitive. So wait till your stress test and better to get cardiac enzymes levels too, which are helpful in detecting any infraction.

Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.
