ECG and T waves

Hello all,

Few years back my ECG result showed "Low T waves"

My Doctor asked me to go to a heart specialist and he got me all wiered up and made me run for 45 min at diff speeds while he measured every heart activity.

His conclusion was that I have a healthy heart and the reason behind the low T waves is a thick chess walls,

This issue is coming up every year and after few Dr visits it comes down to the same result.

Now my question to you guys is: I am doing an interview with a major middle east airline and I have to do a ECG with them, if this T issue comes up how one would see it?

by the way I hold cat I medical.

I would privately arrange to have an assessement completed by an eminent CAA approved cardiologist and take his report with you. I have in the past been idetified by the CAA has having T wave issues that just keep cropping up. In every instant I refer to my most recent cardiologist report and the matter is soon put to bed. No dramas. The vast majority of cases these medicals are designed to screen potential unidentified problems. If your case has been previously identifed and been investigated and found to be stable / benign or your "normal" they will move on once their curiosity is satisfied.

Low T-waves

20 years ago whilst flying with Gulf Air, I was found to have a negative t-wave...I was sent to see the top cardiologist in the UK CAA who confirmed the diagnosis and sugested that every time I do an ECG that I take a deep breath and hold it.
It certainly worked and since then I have held a class 1 medical issued by Japan CAB every year with no problems.
