Translation: borderline= not enough wrong to say so, not totally normal. Without a fuller explanation from the person/machine that produced the report, little can be said. The people who evaluated you had the benefit of an exam, history and this and any other tests. If they sent you home the overall view was it was not significant.

"Borderline" means nothing. It reflects non-diagnostic changes requiring further correlation with your symptoms. ECGs often show minor deviations from normal which cannot be adequately interpreted. The fact that your were discharged means that nothing of concern was found on clinical evaluation. You need to follow up with your doctor if your symptoms recur. "Chest pains" do not always mean heart p

The changes seen on your ecg were not diagnostic and/or with life threatening potential. Follow up is always needed and may help in clarifying possible abnormalities seen, either a primary care doc or a local Cardiology group, phone numbers may have been included in ER discharge papers.
