What Do These ECG Test Results Indicate?
My recent cardiac check-up was successful. ECHO UNCHANGED. I had open heart surgery in 1967. I am now 59. Surgery corrected pulmonic stenosis. No artifical valve. My ECG had normal sinus rythum but showed anteroseptal mi is present, age undetermined. I read the ECG results on my patient portal. My CARDIOLOGIST never mentioned this and told me to see her in 2017. I am confused.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is understandable to be concerned but if the ECHO was normal or unchanged then this may be the reason for the visit at that time.
The echo would take a look at the function of the heart, it would assess how the muscles are pumping and also take a look at the walls of the heart.
If the MI was significant then it would have caused impaired function of the heart which would have been seen on echo.
I hope this helps
