Suggest Remedy For Heart Ailments

I am a 50 year old female,, caucasian, in general good health. I do have asthma but being managed well. Visited my PCP yesterday and was told I needed an Echo due to abnormalites in QT wave and changes in my septal wave. What concerns are there and are these indicators for an acute MI and /or cardiac ischemia? How urgent should I have the ECHO done? Are these indicators relevant to other issues, etc?

u probably have nonspecific st changes in ur ecg. so should get yourself evaluated with some noninvasive test like stress exercise or stress thallium, echo. These changes can b present without significant heart disease as well but yes underlying cardiac ischemia should be ruled out. you should also do cholesterol and blood sugars, get ur bp check.
