I'm getting ready for my aviation medical, and I had an ECG done. The report showed ST segment elevation in the anterior, large T waves, and it said "borderline ECG." I'm 20 years old, weigh 82kg, and I'm 176cm tall. Should I be worried about any of these findings? What do they really mean, especially with my age and size?

Based on the ECG findings of ST segment elevation (anterior), large T wave, and borderline ECG, along with your age, weight, and height, it is important to further evaluate these findings. These ECG changes could indicate various conditions such as myocardial infarction, myocarditis, pericarditis, or other cardiac issues. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. In the meantime, it is important to avoid strenuous physical activity and follow a heart-healthy diet. Medications such as aspirin, nitroglycerin, and beta-blockers may be prescribed based on further evaluation by your cardiologist.
