EKG: These changes may be associated with symptoms so I would suggest you let your cardiologist make the diagnosis as to whether these changes are of any consequence

Maybe tied together: cad and infarct may cause dilation of left ventricle, leading to mitral regurgitation. Myocardial infarct might also precipitate arrhythmia, including atrial fibrillation. Advise regular follow up with your Cardiologist to optimize your treatment

ATRIAL FLUTTER EVAL: YES:: A FLUTTER IS AN UNSTABLE RYTHM it may break or convert to AFIB. THE T waves are flipped with flutter. Given The brief HX you gave, you probably had an Mi from underlying CAD If you had a CABG AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE, it was either 3VDz or LM. The Dilated Cardiomyopathy that develops after an MI has likely created the MR. You should get copies records and Get a SECOND CARD CONSULT THALIUM/TEE
