Anterior mi: In women on ekg is a common false positive due to attenuation effects of breast tissue. Congratulating you on a ccs of zero. If its still a question than an echocardiogram will clear it up.

See cardiologist: A new myocardial infarction (heart attack) on ekg is a serious finding that warrants a cardiology consultation. Likely you will be advised to undergo a stress test and/or a cardiac catheterization.
