Hello,
ECG can be sometimes normal in patients with a heart attack. It is best for your husband to repeat the ECG and probably have some blood tests such as troponin levels to make sure this is not a heart attack.
I hope this answers your query and is helpful to you. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General and Family Physician
