angiogram results

I got ' t wave inversion ' in resting ECG. Treadmill Test shows " ST changes " Doctor suggested Angiogram. So I underwent Angiogram in my forearm. Result is " normal coronary arteries ". Dr prescribed tablet "RANTAC " for one month.

Towards the end of the test, I had heart attack symptoms ( which resolved with 3 squirts of nitro) and was sent to the hosp for an angiogram. Results of the angiogram were good , except for a 25% occlusion in a distal aeortic vessel on the back of my heart down by the apex. The Dr. said that my heart had "spasmed" during the stress test. I had never had a problem with the treadmill test. With the med stress echo, my heart was beating faster than I think it ever has....

My husband just received his results from recent stress test. (He is 36 y/o. Father had first double bypass at 37 and died at 56, so there is a family history of heart issues.) Stress spect cardiolite images decreased cardiolite uptake in anterior and inferior walls. Spect cardiolite scan was positive for moderate amount of ischemia of anterior and inferior walls. Comments: 1. Anterior defect/possible soft tissue/breast attenuation artifact, 2.

I am scheduled for an Angiogram next week. My question is what does this all mean? Also had mild regurgitation in valves. Should I be concerned.

Hi Ken-thanks for responding-have you had an angiogram? My cardiologist put me on im (time released nitrates) in addition to the toprol xl (beta blocker) & said if the angina & SOB continued he wants to do an angiogram-if you did have an angiogram how did they decide when to do it?

You could have a stress echo which will see any abnormal wall motion when the heart is working hard. However, the gold standard is still the angiogram. You do know that smoking is continually damaging your arteries? You've probably been told this a million times, but if you are concerned about your heart, you would stop.

The actual result (after my Angiogram ) was that the above defect was incorrect. No defect in that area was found. But…. The angiogram did un-cover a serious defect (45% blockage in Left Main artery with 88% pressure) that the Nuc. Stress Test did not detect. So…Nuc. Stress Test score “zero for two.” Not good.

The Doctor wants to have a CT scan or angiogram taken of the coronary arteries to see exactly where the blockages are, and how large. From the results shown in those images, he will be able to decide on the best options for your husband. Once he knows the severity of the situation, he will be able to decide the best option by laying risk against benefit. For example, he may decide to continue with medication.

Iam 31, 2 Months before i got the chest pain and I immediately rushed to the hospital. They did the ECG and found little changes in V4 - V5. And I went through the angiogram. The angiogram results shows negative. And doctor discharged from hospital with some prescription for 3 months. Still I am getting the pain in center of chest. Two days before I went to doctor and in ECG found the V6 changes in the lead.

An angiogram is the safest test that will give definitive results. Precede with confidence. I think being crushed by a piano when walking a city street is a bigger risk.

An Angiogram usually results in a fix, but occasionally it can result in a problem. You need to be more specific.

Do have another angiogram next year. Blockages can increase rather quickly, or take years to develop. Ejection Fraction ratings can increase and decrease in a New York Minute, I'd pay more attention to the ischemia. Where the blockage is in the heart is very significant. I have an EF of 40%, pretty good, but also have Congestive Heart Failure because of heart enlargement from high pressures within the heart, and have trouble with fluid build-up in the lungs.

I have a history of high cholesterol and am currently on a cholesterol reducing medication as well as a medication to reduce blood pressure. I was offered several options as the next step and opted for a CT angiogram. Given my other results, should I have gone directly to the more conventional angiogram in spite of the slightly greater risk? If there is a good chance that I will need an angiogram anyway, am I not putting myself at risk by going through another step?

can anyone help explain what my MRI/MRA scan results mean:While no definitive aneurysmal dilatation of the intracranial vasculature is evident, there is subtle suggestion of potential fenestration of the M1 segments bilaterally, left slightly more conspicuous than the right. There is no evident hemodynamically significant stenosis or high flow vascular malformation. The dural venous sinuses demonstrate normal flow-voids.

Angiogram is still the best, but the CT is quite good.

How complex is this issue? do i need to go through this angiogram test. what could be the results of this test and whats the next procedue for this?

I had an angiogram several years ago that showed mild amount of plaque. The cardiologist is indicating that based upon the stress test I may want to have another CT angiogram . He is not pressing however because I have no chest pain and he indicated the stress test results maybe related to the fact I have mycardial bridging. He has left it to me to decide to have another angiogram or just wait 6 months and redo thestress tests. Would appreciate advise.
