A member asked:

At the hospital, ekg came up as acute mi. troponin levels normal. why is ekg saying im having a heart attack? i went in for chest pain. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Was this a computer interpretation or the official interpretation after a staff cardiologist did an overread which is customary? I've been an EKG interpreter at 2 hospitals for 40 years and in my experience 20% of computer interpretations required alterations by us readers. Some of these altered interpretations were necessary because the computer couldn't compare the EKG with prior readings though
