Common Questions and Answers about Stress test heart block

stress-test

Avatar n tn I can produce a numbert of different opinions what is the appropriate heart rate and so on with exercising. The best method for someone with a heart issue is to have a stress test. A stress test is oftened done for the purpose of learning the degree of tolerance/risk one can safely do. The rule of thumb stated is not recommended for someone who has heart issues. You will be safe to engage in exercising according to METs.
Avatar f tn He had a 30 day monitor on because of heart racing/ palpitations. His dr did a stress test and his heart rate went immediately to 154, and when he was at rest it didn't go below 130. The dr just sent us for bloodwork...Epeniphrine & NorEpeniphrine levels . He also has a bluish tint to his lower legs and forearms with white spots-when I pointed this out to his cardiologist she said "oh".
Avatar m tn My PVC are caused by a small patch of hyperactive cardiac cells in one place in my heart. They are not caused by my first degree heart block, which has no symptoms at all. Heart block has two major causes. One is congenital: This is due to the type of wiring of the heart that you are born with, and it cannot be changed by diet, exercise, and so on.
Avatar m tn I also went through a stress test the result of which is perfectly ok. Do i really have any problem in my heart? If not why the ECG report always comes abnormal?
1635396 tn?1301883247 Stress is very important part in heart attack. Rather than physical stress here I talk about psychological stress. If you are type a personality then it will be with you.If you are perfectionist then you have problem. Accumulated psychological stress though does not bring heart attack immediatly but it is going to happen. Find out your own solution for that. For me I try to avoid the people who bring me such stress.From the information you gave this part is not clear.
Avatar m tn Can someone with Icd (had only one episode in 2004) and afib problems ,normal results for echo.and nuclear stress test be considered as not having heart failure? I thought once you have those problems it is automatically considered a heart failure.
Avatar f tn t provide much information such as your symptoms, if medicated during test, what was the heart rate during test, etc. Any other medical issues?
Avatar f tn My nuclear stress test results came back normal with excellent functionality, with no signs of heart damage, ischemia, etc. The cardiologist feels based on the nuclear stress, and the lack of symptoms (chest pain, etc) during exercise and stuff like that, that my heart is good. His only suggestion was to exercise more. He felt the av block is caused by my atenolol and if I exercise more, and drop a few pounds, I could get off the atenolol and that will revert back to normal....
Avatar f tn As you probably already know, when we are under stress, our body secrets cortisol, the stress hormone. With elevated cortisol levels, we are more likely to increase blood pressure and heart rate, increase weight gain, lower immune system, etc. My best advise it to eat healthy and exercise, so you can help your brain and body to better manage stress, midterms or finals. There are no "magic pills" for any ailment in the world.
Avatar f tn I was told by an expert about 7 years ago that it will eventually change into pacemaker requring heart rythmn problem - hence my quickly arranging a stress test when i started getting symptoms recently. I was not born with an SA node due to an absent right atrium - i have 2 left ones....
Avatar f tn Never good to try to map someone's view of how your symptoms match theirs. If one has troubling symptoms they need to get a medical diagnosis from a professional based on measurements and tests. As for blocks, do you mean arteries to the heart muscles?
Avatar m tn I had a stress test and the results were: First degree heart block and left anterior fascicular block. what further tests can I have and what can I do to limit the progression to complete heart block. Can anything be done to minimise any stroke or heart attack?
242440 tn?1264519844 I am 42 and had double bypass of my LAD about 10 months ago. They used one mammary and a radial to do the bypass. My problem before bypass is that I had 5 stents (4 in the LAD and one under the 4 to close the gaps and reopen them after restenosis), but apparently I develop scar tissue or block up pretty agressively. Based on my symptoms, my cardiologist had me come in for an echo stress test.
19887518 tn?1486048647 It means that during stress/exercising, parts of your heart (inferior wall extending to apex) do not get enough oxygen (mild defect=ischemia). Reversible means that the ischemia goes away when the stress/exercise is stopped. So in rest there is enough oxygen supplied to the heart. The heart is supplied with oxygen through several arteries. As the supply is not adequate during stress, it indeed means that there is a big chance there is a blockage in one of the arteries.
Avatar f tn I AM A 28 YEAR OBESE WOMAN WHO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A LEFT BUNDLE BRANCH BLOCK IN OCTOBER 2010. I HAD A STRESS TEST, ULTRASOUND OF THE HEART WHICH SHOWED EVERYTHING WAS FINE. BUT IT HAS LEFT ME WITH ALOT OF ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS. I AM ALWAYS THINKING SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY HEART. SO I HAD A SECOND OPINION DONE. HE ALSO TOLD ME THE SAME THING. SO HE PUT ME ON A 30 EVENT MONITOR BECAUSE I TOLD HIM I WAS HAVING PALPITATION SOMETIMES.
1688079 tn?1305854113   ECG showed 1st degreeAV block and I was given a nuclear stress test with pictures.  Shortly after the stresstest the Hospitalist said the stress test was abnormal and it showed reversable ischemia.  Then he went and reviewed the stress with the cardioligist who said it was normal. The Hospitalist put me on metoprolol 25mg every 12hrs and pravastatin 10mg once a day. Put me on a cardio diet.  What does all this mean and why am I on a beta blocker??
1124887 tn?1313754891 I first noticed some skipped beats (premature contractions) some months ago, got scared, and requested some tests (Holter, echocardiography, stress ECG test), and of course some ECGs at rest. Results as follows: Resting ECGs: All normal Holter: My cardiologist said "everything normal, some PAC's, low number. Echo: All normal. Stress test: All normal, one PAC at rest a couple of minutes after max load.
Avatar n tn m concerned about plaque since I have cholesterol of 262 and triglycrides of 233. If I see a cardiologist now...what test would be appropiate to determine heart plaque?
Avatar f tn Had a stress test there is a large sized anterior walldefect extending to the apex and septal wall. There is a samll sized distal anteroapical defecdt extending to the septal wall. Small sized fixed distal anteroapical defect textending to the septal wall consistent wiht myocardial scar. What does all this mean. I an 70 year old female with family heart history.
716924 tn?1235869479 I had a complete heart block after open heart surgery (av node injury) and had repeated long pauses and felt like I would die during them. I had a temporary pacemaker that would back me up. Eventually the block resolved and I only have a first degree now but I live in fear of seeing that word "pause" on one of my monitors. But if your doc says it's ok then I'm sure it is. Your ejection fraction is great!
Avatar f tn I am scheduled for a nuclear stress test on july 30, and an echo. I have had an echo but was wondering what the stress test was?? Anyone with info please help??????
