I'm 30 and just had an osteoma removed from my forehead, and right before the surgery, they did an ECG. The results said "borderline ECG" and mentioned something about "widespread ST elevation." Can you explain what that means? Should I be worried about these results?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Borderline ECG findings can be normal variants in some individuals, but when combined with widespread ST elevation, it may indicate a potential issue with the heart's electrical activity. This could be due to various reasons such as myocardial injury, pericarditis, or even an electrolyte imbalance. It is important to further evaluate this finding with additional tests like cardiac enzymes, echocardiogram, and possibly a stress test. Depending on the underlying cause, medications like aspirin, beta-blockers, or nitroglycerin may be prescribed. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor your heart health.

"I recommend you take Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily for high blood pressure. For your elevated heart rate, you can take Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg twice daily. Make sure to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly."
