What Does "septal Yocardial Infraction" Indicate?

I had an ekg over 4 years ago and was told that I had a "septal yocardial infraction (probably old)" In addition, in May of 2011 I was told by a cardiologist that I have ''ventricular tack". I feel fine and work out regularly (age 61) but do have strong history of heart disease. Have I had a heart attack, even though no one has told me so. I should also tell you my angiogram showed "arteries of a 25 year old". Thank you for any insight you can give me concerning my heart.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of septal myocardial infarction. It indicates thrre is damage in wall between right and left heart. You have history of previous heart attack. So you should take aspirin and clopidogrel regularly. Also check your lipid profile test and if your cholesterol level is high then you need atorvastatin.

Go for regular workup. Take preventive treatment. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
