The circumstances in which you had the ecg would be critical in determining if changes signaled are of concern or not. Many times machine reading is capturing slight changes that are not necessarily of clinical significance, they have to do with technique, lead placement, software settings, etc.

"Nonspecific T abnormality" is a commonly used phrase in ECG interpretation and reflects the uncertainty in the reader's mind as to its significance. Clinical correlation is always helpful in the interpretation and this i best done by a physician who is familiar with your history, risk factors etc. Please have a physician evaluate your history, risk factors and findings on exam. Likely not a probl
