What Causes Abnormality In EKG?

I just had my yearly physical and once again my EKG came up abnormal. I m 56 years old and play soccer twice a week in addition to other excercise. I went to a cardiologist last year and he said I was fine and was not concerned. My current doctor says there is no change in the EKG from 2006. Will I always have an abnormal EKG and should I be worried?

Hello,

Abnormal EKG should be investigated further like Stress test, 2-D echocardiography and other non-invasive tests first to come to a conclusion about the abnormality.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
