Common Questions and Answers about Stress symptoms images
stress
The imediate post-stress myocardial images show defect in the antero-apical and apical walls of the left ventrical. The overall size of the defect is small. Resting images show nearly complete normalization of these perfusion defects. In addition, prominent breast tissue attenuation artifact was noted. The patient had appropriate HR response, and appropriate BP response. Negative for chest pain, mildly positive for ischemic ECG changes, and negative for significant arrhythmia.
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 had atypical symptoms of Angina, ie arm and chest pain not associated with excersize. I had two stress tests, one nuclear. In both I went 13.5 min to attain the desired heart rate of 160, and scarcly broke a sweat. The nuclear test results. 'Abnormal left ventrical function by gated imaging. Evidence of mild LV dysfunction. Segmental wall motion abnormality of antrior and septal walls. Evidence of myocardial ischemia involving the anterior and inferior septal and apical walls'.
Myocardial images acquired following exercise demonstrate a small sized perfusion defect of mild severity in the inferior region of the left ventricle. The rest images reveal complete reversibility in this region. Stress images also reveal a mild decrease of tracer uptake in the anterior area of the apex. The rest images are unchanged in this region. Cavity dilatation is not present. Systolic myocardial thickening and wall motion at rest are normal on gated imaging.
she has had no symptoms of heart problems but has diabetes). She was the 4th person to have the test on this equipment. According to the results stress images reveal a large sized perfusion abnormality of moderate to severe intensity in the lateral and anterolateral walls . Stress images also showed a medium sized perfusion abnormality of mild to moderate intensity in the interoseptal and inferiolateral walls. Grade V stage.
We always have to get a resting scan with cardiolite and then do a stress test and repeat scan with cardiolite so that we can compare resting images to stress images. Our institution does it the way you had yours with rest portion first. It just depends on the institution, which protocol they use.
Hope this helps.
I have been admitted to the hospital on several occasions with chest pain and tachycardia; I was given nitro glycerin patches and ekg's were performed. when i got copies of my records from the hospital there was notations on the ekg's as abnormal.
Can someone please help me understand my recent Stress test findings: Images show mild intensity small-sized defect, located in the distal anterior and apical wall. Rest images show no change of the defect compared to the stress images. This defect suggests infarction vs. artifact in the wall. Gated SPECT imaging demonstates abnormal septal motion of the distal anterior and apical wall. The left ventricular ejection fraction was calculated to be 56%.
Mild ischemia (reduced blood flow) to the area stated. When one excercises (or under stressful conditions) the heart requires more blood oxygen, and almost always the problem is due to narrow coronary vessels caused by some blockage causing chest pain (angina).
Your heart is pumping a normal output so that isn't contributing to the ischemia. Normal EF is 55-75% and that is the amount of blood pumped out with heartbeat.
Recently I did nuclear stress test. The findings of the test is " Stress images reveal a mild to moderate perfusion defect in the basoseptal wall of the left ventricle. Resting images reveal this defect to be fixed, The left ventricular ejection fraction = 64% (Normal > or = 50%). There is normal wall motion."
I do not understand the findings. Please explain the findings to a dummy.
Thank you so much. I just found out today that I needed this. I didn't think to ask at the time.
I am new here. I am 44 and overweight, never smoked. Have had a lot of brain surgeries for Chiari Malformation/Hydrochepalus. Recently I have had shortness of breath...and so test showed low oxygen saturation upon exherstion. Test of lung were unremarkable...except for a "floppy" trachea that collapse by 50% on exhaling.
Just has a chemical stress test done and am waiting to see a cardiologist on Friday.
Myocardial perfusion imaging shows normal tracer uptake on the resting images. Stress images show a new small midly revesible defect in teh anterior wall. This appears consistent with a small amount of anterior reversible ischemia. However, shifting soft tissue/breast attenuation cannot be excluded. Gated analysis shows normal systolic function and wall motion with ejection fraction of 66%.
extremely scary.... I am off for stress, and on medications. Dr. said not to worry but he doesnt know about last nights episodes. Do you know what could be causing this Dr.?
Thankyou in advance for your help.
