Dear Edward

This test result implies that you have had a heart attack involving the bottom of the heart. In addition, a front part of your heart is supplied by a heart artery that is diseased, and this part of the heart is at risk for a heart attack in the future. This result would usually prompt a cardiac catheterization.

I hope this is useful. Feel free to write back with further questions. Good luck.
