Can an ECG be normal after a heart attack and does Ayushman Bharat cover treatment?

Even if the ECG report is normal, a heart attack should never be ruled out based on ECG alone. Your father should be evaluated by a Cardiologist immediately, who advise additional tests  if required.

What Tests Required?

Depending on your father's condition, the doctor advise:

• Repeat ECG, if necessary.

• Cardiac enzyme (Troponin) blood test.

• 2D Echocardiography (2D Echo).

• Coronary Angiography, if indicated.

• Other blood tests and investigations based on his symptoms.

These tests help identify the cause of the heart problem and determine the most appropriate treatment.

What Treatment Required?

Treatment depends on the diagnosis and the severity of the condition. It include :

• Medicines to improve blood flow and protect the heart.

• Hospital admission for close monitoring.

• Coronary angiography to identify blocked arteries.

• Angioplasty with stent placement, if required.
