Hello,

There are some non specific STT changes with some ventricular conduction defects.

Now as the patient is diabetic which is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease so coupled along with this ecg it become advisable to evaluate further by doing and echocardiogram.

If that comes normal a stress test is advisable.

Hope to have been helpful.
