If it improved her performance as a benefit of also treating some sort of heart issue, all to the good, I suppose.
I didn't "gloss over it", I ignored it. An irregular EKG is not an indication, it's a test result. Lots of things can cause it (including dehydration), and if it was something to need Meldonium, she'd give the diagnosis. If she had heart failure, she wouldn't be a tennis pro.

You don't treat an irregular EKG with an anti ischemic drug. That's absurd. That's the same as treating a headache with stroke medication

Ask yourself, "do 1 in 5 Russian athletes have heart failure?"
