Can An ECG Be Wrong?
My father had an ECG done recently and it showed he had a heart attack . But he never felt it. He can walk just fine without losing his breath , even climb a flight of stairs. He has sleep apnea . Is it possible he didn t have a heart attack and what appears is due to his sleep apnea?

If he doesn't take care of his sleep apnea, it could have caused some damage to the heart.
