I'm really worried about my wife. She's been having chest pain and the doctor recommended an ultrasound and an ECG. The ultrasound turned out normal, but the ECG showed something concerning. It mentioned "old high lateral MI." What does this mean, and what should we do next?

Your wife seems to have an old high lateral myocardial infarction based on the ECG findings. To manage her chest pain and heart condition, she can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, she can take Clopidogrel 75mg once daily to further prevent blood clots. It is important for her to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
