Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

After going through the electrocardiogram (ECG) and medical details, provided by you I understand your concern for your health. Before giving my opinion, I want you to know I've not seen your electrocardiogram (ECG) and giving my opinion only on the report you have written here. A left posterior fascicular block generally can be due to age-related conduction problems, structural heart disease or coronary artery disease.

Your medical history of being Hypertensive and High cholesterol profile with symptoms of Chest pain and shortness of breath are indicative of Angina which needs further evaluation to prevent any damage to heart muscles. Kindly get an echocardiography and stress test done and consult a cardiologist personally for physical evaluation and proper treatment.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Parta
