EKG RESULTS

[Naka]

Dear friends,I've had two recent EKGs, one back in August and one last week.

The most reasoned diagnosis:

septal infarct, age undetermined,”

The one back in August shows

ABNORMAL ECG -

Sinus rhythm

Abnormal R-wave progression, early transition

LVH by voltage

Anterior Q waves, possibly due to LVH

Back in 2021 they did an echocardiogram and ruled out LVH. I'm really confused by this different readings.

My question is should I ask for an echocardiogram to understand the depth of the damage to the interior wall if it is indeed a septal infract? If not how can I know as to which extend is the damaged to the wall . I did some reading up and there are two extremes related to

Septal infarct.

Since 2018 I've had various EKGs and at the first I think they mentioned it was a possible myocyardinal infract This septal infract is the first.

Thanks,

Naka

hopefully you will be seeing a doctor soon who can explain the results and answer your questions. Helps to write down your questions in preparation. 👍

My cardiologist told me they don't put too much stock on the printout from an ECG but prefer to read it themselves. One of mine had Myocardial Infarct old., and a couple of other things LVH etc. He said I hadn't had a myocardial infarct - it was an error from the machine. Mine is always abnormal though, because I have LBBB.

My latest one when I went to get my CRT-D box change said possible anterior infarction, age undetermined and had me a nervous wreck, but Dr. said it was fine. The ekg machines print out things that are not always accurate, and tend to have a mind of their own. When I got the final report in my portal it said something about my S and T waves and possible infarction was removed. Mine are always abnormal due to my cardiomyopathy and are just compared to the last one taken.
