Question 1

had am ekg today read normal sinus rhythm, septal infarct, abnormal ecg. please explain what's wrong with me...?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: A completely normal ekg would have a small r-wave in one lead (v1); if that r-wave were missing, the ekg would be interpreted as suggesting a septal infarct (heart attack).  However, the absence of an r-wave can be seen when a non-infarction process (fibrosis) occurs or it can be seen if one has another conduction abnormality called a left anterior hemiblock.  An echocardiogram could clarify this.

Question 2

ecg w marked sinus bradycardia. septal infarct age undetermined. abnormal ecg. heart murmur w left valve leakage. history of chest pain. is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Concerning: The abnormalities you have described raise concern for heart disease in a young woman like yourself.  You should see a cardiology specialist soon to do further evaluations.

Question 3

i was in hospital. i was told me all test were normal. yet, the ecg report written by the cardio says a septal infarct is present. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Septal infarct: Talk to your cardiologist an have him explain what's septal infarct is and its future consequences

Question 4

my ecg showed t wave inversion in the anterior leads and a septal infarct the dr said it was epigenetic but this result was in my my cart and my dx was tachicardia and none prior, on but this was in chart and was changed to this?

Accepted Answer

: Females  have atypical symptoms for cardiac disease, and are frequently misdiagnosed.  Obtain a referral to a cardiologist for appropriate guidance.

Question 5

abnormal ecg sinus bradycardia and septal infarct age undetermined?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Sinus bradycardia can be normal in a fit individual. Septal infarct age undetermined may also be a normal variant, but also possibly indicate previous injury to the heart. You might want to consider getting further evaluation, such as a stress treadmill ECG test. Depending on various associated healthy issues, this might need to be combined with imaging (nuclear or ultrasonography).

Question 6

the result of my ecg  lateral wall ischemia occ. pvc anterior septal  infarct. whats is that mean? is that serious?

Accepted Answer

Concerning: How old are you? You need an echocardiography to see your heart or a stress test with imaging (nuclear stress test) for further evaluation. Pl get to see a cardiologist through your family doc.

Question 7

hi i got an ekg done when i was 19 and it said on the paper abnormal ecg and then said sinus bradycardia and septal infarct and said age undetermined? i honestly don't really even know what it means or if it's serious or not. the dr just acted strange eve

Accepted Answer

It may be physiologi: This may be entirely normal. You can have  your physicain have  you see a cardiologist. The ECG is a guide  but your entire evaluation makes the diagnosis

Question 8

my doctor has voiced concerns over my weight-she believes i have anorexia that is affecting my heart. at this point i weigh 120 lbs-"healthy". my lowest was 6 months ago-93 lbs. i'm 5'4. ecg showed sinus rhythm and septal infarct. could it be wrong?

Accepted Answer

: Congratulations, wonderful recovery in weight. An isolated ecg would not be enough in order to confirm cardiomyopathy related to malnutrition and a follow up with a cardiologist may help in better understanding the nature of cardiac changes, if any.

Question 9

i have normal troponin but my ekg says septal infarct is this possible?

Accepted Answer

: Confusing. Your previous message said EKG normal and something else indicated the septal infarct. Normal troponin may mean it's something old, not very recent. However, ahen such a serious problem is possible (even if unlikely), no distant online forum like this can help. You're going to have to sort this out with your own doctors. Good luck.

Question 10

i have had 4 straight ekg's state old septal infarct. cardio wrote borderline ekg crossed out abnormal. i can bodybuild and run no problems.

Accepted Answer

EKG is in accurate!: Ekg is only good to detect rhythm problem of the heart. It should not used to diagnose every disease of the heart! look further and major no assumptions! try finding a physician offering multifunction cardiogram. Good luck! http://en.M.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/multifunction_cardiogram.
