Q: I was recently told that I have a thinning heart wall and abnormal T wave on EKG is this serious.
Hi Thinning heart wall,
I encourage you to discuss the results of your test and your prognosis with your physician. Only your physician knows the extent of your T wave abnormality (which can also be caused just from an electrolyte imbalance) and the extent of your thin heart wall and whether it can be treated or is expected to progress to something worse.
Best of luck,
Monica M. Skidmore, MS, RD
