Is A Cardiac Angiogram Displaying Diastolic Dysfunction Normal Post Heart Attack?
Hi, an ecg showed abnormal Q wave and report said I had had a heart attack . Cardiac enymes only slightly elevated. Given a cardiac angiogram which did not show evidence of heart attack or any marked atherosclerosis but did show some diastolic dysfunction. Does this sound correct to you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that all q waves in ECG are not indicative of a heart attack and once your Angiogram came out to be very normal that means ECG was misinterpreted. Chronic high blood pressure can also cause diastolic dysfunction so kindly consult a cardiologist personally for proper treatment.
Hopefully this information will answer your query query.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
