Hi. I suffer from Angina, for which I take 4 different tablets.
Recently I had to have another ECG and was given a copy of the print out. It suggests posterior infarction and inferior ischemia - are these significant or just another way of saying my artery is restricting the flow of oxygenated blood to my heart?
My doctors have been concerned with irregular EKG and alot of TIA's and they are saying 39% blockage in one valve and then he went on vacation. He told me I was a high risk for major stroke or heart attack or the blockage hitting my brain and immediate death. I am so upset that he takes a vacation and does not leave me with any answers.
Dear awc,
This is a pretty soft finding and I am surprised that you were denied insurance because of it. T-Waves are a portion of the EKG that can indicate ischemia (poor blood flow to the heart). However, there are many other things which can also cause T-wave changes and the finding is very non-specific. Unless you have been having cardiac problems I would not do anything based on this finding. You may want to repeat an EKG. In all likelyhood the changes will be gone and you can reapply for the insurance.
