A member asked:
Abnormal ekg shows old heart attack. i am only 25 with no risk factors. i am completely shocked. did i really have one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple possibilite: Really need an old ECG to compare too or an echo of heart to see if there is any evidence of scarring or wall motion abnormality. Could be congenital or related to prior trauma. Any family risk factors? Also be aware that drugs like cocaine can cause MI in people with no risk factors. See cardiologist if you want resolution of your concerns
