Question 1

i had ecg last year and the findings was i have anteroseptal wall infarction..i went to my cardiologist and said it was all normal..what can this be?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: The equipment itself could be the issue. The most common problem is the placement of the recording electrodes (stickers) on the skin.  Just like any test in life, preparation is very important. If there is lingering concern, an echocardiogram may be helpful.

Question 2

what does qr possible inferior infarction on a ecg mean and there is a big rectangle in the area of v5 in red?

Accepted Answer

: The ECG is suggesting that there is coronary artery disease with blockage leading to death of part of the heart. It is not used solely without other information to confirm that is the situation; so it is best to discuss with your clinician and probably be evaluated by a Cardiologist.

Question 3

what are ecg changes in myocardial infarction?

Accepted Answer

ECG: The classic findings are Q waves in 2 contiguous leads, st segment elevation. The are many other variations as well.

Question 4

what occurs in the ecg during myocardial infarction?

Accepted Answer

Changes in waveform: Myocardial infarction leads to new findings in ECG such as new "q" waves, st segment elevation and t wave inversions or new bundle branch blocks.

Question 5

how reliable are ecgs? my pre-op one showed anterior infarction and dr thought it showed afib.

Accepted Answer

Great question &: Example.  The false positive anterior mi is not uncommon in women due to breast tissue attenuation effects & these computer algorithms while sophisticated & often accurate have pitfalls.  The human mind learns this pitfalls over time so we aren't tricked by them but still in cases like this an echocardiogram may needed to prove positivity.

Question 6

on ecg- what does st elevation - high take off mean? a myocardial infarction?

Accepted Answer

No: It's early repolariztion, a normal variant.

Question 7

iam 65 years old  abnormal ecg
normal sinus rhythm
possible inferior infarction , age undetermined
st& t wave abnormality, consider lateral ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Automated ECG: The automated ECG interpretation that appears on a 12 lead ECG printout must always be viewed with a grain (or two) of salt. The best person to evaluate your ECG is your doctor. Period. The machine is famous for misinterpretation. Go see your doctor. Have a history and physical done. Then have him/her look at your ECG.

Question 8

if an ecg shows that i have old inferior infarction, can the abnormality on the ecg be from mitral valve repair?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Their are no real post mitral valve repair ECG changes that are related to the surgery. Their are people who have mvr and have an inferior mi  pre op or have suffered one post op though.

Question 9

possible inferior myocardial infarction probably old. possible abnormal ecg...does this mean i had an attack? i am diabetic and workout daily.

Accepted Answer

Family practice : If you have any cardiac risk factors ie smoking hx, hypertension , diabetes, high cholesterol, family hx for heart dz, along with having chest pain it may mean something should be investigated. However you are young and sometimes ekg's read very sensitive results. Static or movements are picked up as abnormal readings. Each ekg needs to be interpretated by a physician. Discuss with your dr.

Question 10

a cpet test showed i had  anaerobic score of 11. this test was done as ecg showed afib, anterior infarction? before an operation.is  this good or not?

Accepted Answer

Strange: Too strange. Cpet is not done with infarction. However, some surgeons like it before an operation. Nevertheless, the results usually do not change anything.

What operation would this be? Discuss with your doc.
