I recently got my ECG done just as a routine check-up, and it came back with a note saying 'suspect anteroseptal myocardial infarction.' What exactly does this mean, and should I be worried about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
suspect anteroseptal myocardial infarction on your ECG means there may be a heart attack in the front part of the heart. You may need to take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily, Clopidogrel 75mg once daily, and Atorvastatin 40mg once daily to prevent further complications. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

View allHey, I'm 43 and generally healthy, but I recently had an ECG done. It says my heart rate is 66 beats per minute with a sinus rhythm, but there are nonspecific ST-T changes in III and aVF. I'm not sure what that means. Should I be concerned? Can you help explain this to me?
The ECG report showing a heart rate of 66 beatsminute with sinus rhythm and nonspecific ST-T changes in III and aVF may indicate possible heart conditions such as myocardial ischemia or electrolyte imbalances. To address this, you can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Hey, a couple of years ago I had a CT coronary angio, but I had a panic attack because of the contrast media, and my heart rate shot up to 120. The staff didn't wait for it to settle and went ahead with the scan. They said my arteries were disease-free and mentioned something about a right circulation and a small caliber artery. How did they even get accurate images with my heart rate that high? Did they just fool me? Also, they originally told me I'd need another CT angio in 10 years. Do you think I need to do a repeat scan now? I'm just really confused about what I should do next.
It is possible to obtain accurate images during a CT coronary angiography even if your heart rate increases due to a panic attack triggered by the contrast media. The imaging technology is designed to capture clear images even with some movement. However, if you have concerns about the accuracy of the results or if you are due for a repeat CT angio according to your previous medical plan, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider. They can review your previous scan, assess your current health status, and determine if a repeat CT angio is necessary at this time.

I'm having this issue where my heart seems to race and my hands go numb. It gets really intense, like my heartbeat skyrockets, especially at night. Last night it happened again, and it's not the first time it also occurred about 15 days ago. I got an ECG done, and while my heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was normal. What's going on here? Why is this happening to me?
