Bumping this old post, and am, now asking, if I had a Left Brunch Block, how would this show on the EKG?
Hi,two weeks ago, I had symptoms of dizziness, whoozy, angina type of symptoms. Went to have an EKG. It showed T-wave Flattenings flat or low negative T in AVF with negative in T III another showed St deviation in lead III -18, aVR -28, V1 -25, V3-15, V4-18. Troponin was on normal ref range 0-32 mine was 32 and CK was elevated at 170 ref range was 1-150. Doctors wanted to give antithrombolytic but I refused. It was not clear if I was having a heart attack or not. The symptoms were typical of an MI or angina, sweaty, chest pains, dizzy etc... for about two hours.
Am I correct in assuming that it may not have been a heart attack? Would not the Troponin be high? I had the CK done once only.
The EKG says low QRS voltage in precordia leads, minor inferior repolarizatin distrubance, consider ischemia, LV overload or aspecific change, flat or low negative T in aVF with negative in III, ECG without significant abnomalities.
The EKG was vague even my symptoms were acute, in particular the whooziness, and dizziness!!
I am not sure how reliable those EKGs are.
I had an echo two days ago, and it showed diastolic heart failure, Grade I. But strangely, for 10 years or more, I had left ventricular dysfunction, systolic and diastolic dysfunction. The latest echo showed only diastolic dysfunction, but did say the views were not optimal. Confused? I am ...
I am finding it very difficult to walk or stand up straight, more comfortable when lying down. Light headed and dizzy. Feeling whoozy.
Input appreciated.
Thank you
