Means you are higher risk of having your heart disease come on more. Or that it is normal in you. Be certain EKG leads were put on correctly and discuss with your Dr. And do a risk of future problem by Dr over next 10 years and then discuss what to do. Review your family history of heart disease. Best to see a previous ECG if ever done.

You have a right to be concerned. The EKG is showing heart damage. At this point you need to make an appointment to see a cardiologist for further evaluation and treatment. He will do additional tests on you to determine your risk for additional heart damage if any and will get you on a regimen to prevent further damage to your heart.
