Patient's question:
That's right, my classmate was found to have sinus arrhythmia during the rigorous physical examination for graduate school admission, and they also questioned whether it could be inferior wall myocardial infarction. One of the health check requirements for graduate school admission states that candidates with the following diseases or physical defects are not eligible for admission: 1. Congenital heart disease (excluding those who have undergone surgery and recovered), frequent premature contractions, cardiomyopathy, and other organic heart diseases. The last one, organic heart disease, is the inferior wall myocardial infarction he was diagnosed with considered organic heart disease? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it seems you had an electrocardiogram (ECG) which showed sinus arrhythmia, and it raised suspicion of a posterior myocardial infarction.Advice: Myocardial infarction is a serious heart condition, and it typically indicates organic heart disease. However, at this point, it is only a suspicion, not a definitive diagnosis. You should follow up with a cardiologist to undergo further detailed examinations to determine whether you actually have a myocardial infarction.
The above advice is in response to the question, "Does inferior myocardial infarction belong to organic heart disease?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
