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?
EKG came back High Risk Operation.ST Elevation, consider early repolarization, pericarditis or injury. ST&T wave abnormal consider anterior ischemia?
When doing heavy cardio, I get a sharp stabbing pain in the middle my left pec. I believe this is pericarditis I have had an EKG+xray-nothing detected
Does normal ECHO and cardiac enzymes rule out endocarditis and myocarditis and normal EKG rule out pericarditis ?
Ekg borderline. Pain in left side of chest. Pain in left shoulder. Cardiologist did ekg and said heart is OK. ER said it was pericarditis.
