Flat T leads diffuse?
Just had medical back today and I seem to have a problem with the blood supply to my heart?
I have done a search on this forum and those who have had any experience of this could you letme know what I should do?
I have always been very fit and played sports all my life and im now 33. My father had a valve replacement last year at the age of 62, I was told it wasnt hereditary,could this be linked?
Should I be worried any advice would be welcome.

Hi S,
Flat or inverted T waves can be an indication of a lack of oxygen to the heart muscle.
(Un)fortunately ECGs are not the most refined way of finding out what is exactly going on and a fair few findings on routine ECGs turn out to be nowt to be worried about. However the process to determine that there is indeed nowt wrong can be a bit protracted and long winded.
Am sure that your AME will advice you on how to proceed and get sorted.

There are some specific and some non-specific ECG changes. The most specific of ECG changes are definite alarm signs, even in the absence of symptoms. As far as the non-specific ones go, their significance is much less certain in the absence of heart-related symptoms. This forum is littered with questions like this one, most of which turn out to be nothing.
