I went to in for a pre op EKG last week for elective surgery, and came back with an Abnormal EKG. I am a young 56, athletic, healthy, 5' 6" 135 lbs., with no prior medical problems at all, and definitely not any heart issues. The EKG came back Abnormal, indicating: sinus rythum Q in anteroseptal leads probable old anteroseptal infarction. This is a shock and very very frightening. Since I got the EKG outside of my insurance system, I am now waiting in line to see another cardiologist within the system to get the testing process started. I guess my elective surgery isn't going to happen (?) I am in a state of confusion. Does this result seem serious? How can this be possible with no prior symptoms at all? I think I would have known it if I had previously had a heart attack. They took the EKG 3 times to be sure and the results were all the same. Anything that can be said to help clarify the results during this waiting period will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
