Hi there, Thanks for writing in. I am a qualified and certified cardiologist. I read your mail with diligence. Unless a heart attack was diagnosed by a competent doctor based on recognized criteria your assumption that you have had heart attack might as well be wrong. There is no term as longer ST waves . To answer your specific question treatment for your back with the drugs you named and steroids will not adversely affect your heart you can take my word for it. As far as diagnosis of heart attack is concerned I will urge you to consult a doctor, who would thoroughly examine you, see your EKG may be order a test like echocardiography then tell you whether what you are assuming is correct or not. Best of Luck. With Best Wishes. Dr Anil Grover
