To be certain, I would have to see the EKG. However, if your nuclear scan, and your echo are normal, that pretty much excludes the possibility that you had an old heart attack. It is not unusual for there to be a slightly abnormal rate of progression of the R wave on the front lead of the EKG. Bottom line I would not worry about that at all. Also, if the echo were normal, left, atrial abnormality would also be a false positive on the EKG. The bottom line is you probably have a very normal heart and a slightly abnormal EKG that is borderline, but given the other test should not be of any concern.
