Hello and welcome to HCM,
The impression of ECG is antero-septal infarct.
Antero-septal infarct means reduced blood supply to the septum or partition of two heart chambers and anterior wall of the heart.
The infarct is formed by obstruction or occlusion of the blood vessels supplying the anterior wall and the septal wall of the heart.
The most common cause of occlusion is atherosclerosis or accumulation of cholesterol.
Depending on the degree of obstruction treatment is planned.
Treatment options are angioplasty, stent placement or by pass surgery.

You need to consult your cardiologist for assessment of ECG and management.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja P Wahal
