Can ECG be normal?

If you have coronary artery disease.

I am not a doctor. My mom and dad are patients of coronary artery disease, and my dad has gone through angioplasty and stenting.

I guess, yes your ECG can be normal, if you are not facing stress on your heart at the time of test. And if the disease is not acute and has not effected your heart beats too much, or if you are taking your prescribed medicines timely.

@Fertilization They told me to not eat or drink anything before my brain surgery. I guess that's because in case of indigestion or any other problem they will not be able to vomit it properly and the food or water may end up going to lungs, which would not be a good thing.

Normal and ECG aren’t really things you should be considering when you are considering an ECG as an indicator of health

@gdon39 Absolutely. But I want to know what if an anesthesist asked the patient to go for certain tests that included ECG ( and ECG happened to be normal) but not echo and then the patient faced table death immediately after anaesthesia was given.

Definitely. An ECG can be totally normal looking even during a heart attack. Which is a pain in the ass sometimes.
