ecg results

My Dr. called me as my ecg results were not normal. The report said something about persistent juvenile pattern. The Dr. says it may be nothing or something minor.  She is sending me for a stress test.  I am a 35 year old woman.

Thanks

This pattern of st segment elevation in association with upright t waves, is commonly seen in young African American men and women. If associated with chest pain or shortness of breath may be indicative of heart disease, but in an  asymptomatic patient it is most likely simply the benign condition mentioned above. The stress test is simply for reassurance.
