With family history of heart attacks Left side chest pain for long time Don't take it lightly We are lucky that his ecg is normal. If Troponin test is positive he needs to under go Angiography test as soon as possible It is strongly advisable to do a 2D echo again and Do a stress test (TMT test) if Troponin is negative Better to be safe Any time there is a person suffering form chest pain please do a ECG immediately Don't wait at home Heart attacks are life threatening
