Yes, an ECG can show a previous heart attack, as during an attack, some areas of tissue become hypoxic, and may lose their conductive properties, showing an alternate tracing on an ECG. It can't, however, show when the last heart attack occurred.

Inverted T wave shows that there was a heart problem.
