In medical terminology, anterior means front. Infarction refers to a 'heart attack', which is an area of injury to heart muscle in which part of the heart muscle ceases to work. At an undetermined age means the patient does not know or does not remember when the cardiac symptoms happened, or means the person had a "silent myocardial infarction" or a "heart attack without symptoms".

So it means death of a portion of the heart muscle at the front of the heart but how long ago is unknown.

What is anterior infarction age undetermined?

It means there was injury to the front part of the heart sometime in past. ECG can show this because injured/scarred heart tissue does not conduct electrical impulse like normal heart tissue. This does not tell you how well the heart is functioning. An echocardiogram can show how well a heart still function after a previous infarction.

What does possible anterior infarct age undetermined on ECG analysis mean?

Most ECG machines are designed to pick up certain abnormalities in the tracing, they will therefore give suggestions of what could be wrong. Possible anterior infarct means that there is possible cell death in the front (anterior) part of the heart. BUT these automatic analysis are very unreliable and just a bit of movement can lead it to saying possible heart attack on a perfectly normal ECG. Therefore, always ask a professional who is trained in reading ECGs for the diagnosis - don't rely on the machine. age undetermined just means whoever did the ECG did not enter the patient's age into the machine before taking the ecg.
