I'm feeling really confused about something. My ECG says I have LAD, but I'm not experiencing any symptoms, and both my echo and TMT came back normal. I haven't been diagnosed with LAH, BLBB, or LVH. So, why would I have LAD? I've attached my ECG if that helps. Can someone explain what's going on here?
Based on the information provided and the attached ECG, it appears that you have been diagnosed with Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery involvement. In this case, it is important to focus on managing your cardiovascular health. I recommend starting treatment with Aspirin 75mg daily to prevent clot formation in the arteries. Additionally, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further artery blockage. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm a bit worried after getting some chest pain, and my doctor did a 2D Echo test and now suggests an angiogram. I'm really concerned if an angioplasty is absolutely necessary after that? Could you help me understand if the angioplasty is always needed after an angiogram or if there are situations where it's not required?
it is not necessary to undergo angioplasty compulsorily after angiogram ,if some defect is found then angioplsty is needed
