I don't understand what your ecg results say, but given what Brook says, I note that I also understand stress tests, especially nuclear stress tests are the next step of diagnostics to determine if there are any heart blockages.  

In my life I've had three nuclear stress tests, and two of them were inconclusive, that is they showed a possible blockage.  Further testing via a catheter showed there is no blockage.  I believe the cardiac catheter examination is the "gold standard" on checking for heart blockage.  

As said, I don't understand your question, so my input may not be helpful.

Good luck

Hello...

I would imagine that if the Dr felt that this result is accurate than a cardiac catheterization would be the next step to further investigate the possibility of blockages.

Sometimes the results of an EKG will be suggestive of an MI but further testing shows this to be false. I have had many EKG's that have suggested an MI, but fourtunately have had that ruled out after further tests.

Did the Dr discuss the results with you and manke any suggestion of a plan?
