My nuclear stress test results were as follows ver batim. I do not know what it means, are the results acceptable, good very good etc. What does this say about the blood flow to the heart muscle ?
"injection of Myoview nuclear tracer & resting images obtained excercised on a treadmill for 5 min 34 sec. to 10.
I am a 61 year old male and have had PAT since age 21. I had never had a stress test until recently. Done to evaluate increase in irregular beats. The report said I reached 98% of predicted maximal heart rate as the rate changed from 68 to 157 BPM. BP changed from 152/80 to 189/66. I was stressed to 8 METS. I stopped due to fatigue but had no excess shortness of breath and no chest pain. There were no EKG changes over baseline.
As follow up my doctor did a nuclear stress test, results showing normal, good blood flow and no blockages. Is the result correct? Where did the two blockages shown during the catherization go?
I was just confused by the results, which were given to me via answering machine by a nurse. Should I call my doctor to question the results of the stress test?
My own stress test results were described in terms of how I ranked with others of my age (my first MET was 10% below, my followup two years later and after losing 25 pounds though a bit less conditioned due to a month long heatwave, was 10% above).
If you were age 30-49, then a MET of 7.7 would be classed as below average (average for that age range being 9-12 MET). I couldn't find a table for your age range but I'm confident 7.
What does it mean when, during a exercise stress test (treadmill), they tell you to stop early? Is it most likely a good thing or a bad one?
Details: Given a stress test for heart rate irregularities. Resting rate was around 80, and bp around 110/70. Between 3-6 min on the treadmill my bp was 170/80 and heartrate was over 140. At 7-8 minutes they told me I could stop because "they had all the information they needed." They said I would have the results in a couple of days.
test with myocardial perfusion imaging revealed mild to moderate ischemia involving the basal anterior septum and mid anterior septal walls. He is status post recent (4/7/08) four-vessel bypass graft with a LIMA to the LAD.
My husband has been labeled a walking piece of plaque by his cardiologist.
With his open-heart surgery being so recent, with him being diabetic, and he has never had any symptoms of his illness - should this recent test be looked into further by your opinion?
I recently took a treadmill stress test and nuclear stress test. Basically, the conclusions are that I have: 1) moderate size inferior ischemia 2) LVEF is 56% 3) ECG is positive for ischemia at a good workload.
No chest pains, no arrhythmia.
I've research the Internet and have reached a tentative first impression, but would appreciate any professional feedback on the above three conclusions.
I am being scheduled for a heart catheterization.
Thank you.
I had a tread mill stress test and a nuclear stress test. Briefly, the results were: 1) reached 100% target heart rate, no chest pains, no arrhythmia 2) LVEF is 56% 3) moderate size inferior ischemia 4) ECG is positive for ischemia at a good workload (143 heart rate).
I have formed a preliminary impression from my research on the Internet, but would appreciate feedback on the above 4 items. I havel scheduled a heart catherterization.
Thank you.
I just completed a tread mill stress test and a nuclear stress test. Briefly, the results are:
1) attained 100% target heart rate, no chest pains, no arrhythmia
2) LVEF is 56%
3) Moderate size infereior ischemia
4.) ECG is positive for ischemia at good workload (reached heart rate of 143).
