A member asked:
In regards to an ekg, what does "possible inferior infarct, age undetermined" mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe heart attack: This means that the patient might have had a heart attack at some time in the past (any time between 24 hours ago and forever ago). Specifically, in the bottom wall of the heart (inferior). The POSSIBLE means that it is not a slam dunk interpretation: the inferior leads of an ECG can be tricky to interpret, and sometimes it looks like there was a heart attack when in fact there was none.
