Not sure : Not sure how an ECG can show hardening of heart muscle. It could show signs that may be related to previous damage of heart muscle. Damage of heart muscle can cause arrhythmia. Most arrhythmias, unless left uncontrolled for long periods of time do dot cause heart damage.

Would tachycardia, myocarditis & pericarditis show on EKG or CT scan? I did both & CT was perfect, as for my ekg, they said my heart was beating a little fast (127 bmp, some from anxiety, but not all) but the rhythm was perfect. Should I be worried?
