Serious Findings During Health Checkup
I am a 26-year-old male who recently underwent a medical checkup. However, I am a bit concerned and anxious about some of the findings in my report. I would like to share the concerning parts below for your review and advice.
Concerning Findings:
ECG Report: Marked as "Abnormal ECG".
States "Possible lateral infarct, age undetermined".
Notes "Sinus rhythm with short PR interval" and "Eca-short PR"
Lipid Profile:
HDL-Cholesterol: 35.30 mg/dL
Inflammation Marker: ESR (1 hour): 19 mm/hr (Above the normal reference range of 0-15 mm/hr.)
My Questions:
1. Does the ECG indicate that I might have had a silent heart attack or some kind of permanent heart damage?
2. Is the short PR interval something serious or something should monitor closely?
3. Based on these findings together, do I need further cardiac or inflammatory investigations right away?

Based on ECG alone the variation seen looks mostly like an early repolarization variant and not an infarct (as mentioned by the built in AI of the ECG machine). The PR interval though on the shorter side, is not again very significant.

Next Steps
If any symptoms like chest pain or palpitations or dizziness then further check ups are required. Otherwise not needed
