A member asked:

I had an ekg a week ago that looked good. is it likely to have a heart attack after a recent clear ekg?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

ECG : At age 28 it is not likely to have a heart attack, period. A normal ECG does not guarantee one won't sometime have a heart attack.

You are ok: You are too young to have anything wrong, but an ekg is not sufficient to exckude heart disease.
