Has anybody out there had an abnormal ECG following a healthscreen. The cardiologist wants me to have echocardiogram which I am happy with, but what I am worried about is the thallium scan (radio-active stuff pumped into you to show flood flow through heart). I can still run as I have never had any chest pain or palpatations and the cardiologist thinks that it is unlikely he will find a problem. I have run for over 20 years, quite competitively. Surely running cannot damage the heart muscle?

I hope things turn out all right.
Doc was worried until he looked at my history of 15+years of cycling and then he decided that exercise had enlarged it.
If you've been competing for 20 years, then you might be in the same boat as me ?
Let us know what he says - but I wouldn't worry.
(then again I try never to worry - it never helps things, and you always worry the worst scenarios which then don't happen)
