Avatar n tn I went to see the cardio in duke when I got those positive stress test results. The dr at duke recommended the cardiac MRI, so I googled it and that is how I found more info on it. You might be able to get a cta too... I couldn't because of my anxiety and they couldn't get my heart rate down. But the MRI is just as good and doesn't ecspose you to radiation. I actually got a cardiac stress MRI, where they inject you with meds to make your heart race and that further cks for blockages.
Avatar m tn I had an abnormal stress test last week, and I had a heart attack many years ago. My cardiologist said he thinks I should have a Heart Cath, but is leaving it up to me. He said something that was confusing to my husband and me. He said my heart performed good during the stress test but that was bad. Sounded contradictory to us.
Avatar f tn I had small implants since I had the previous stress test- was wondering if having brest implants would cause an abnormal stress test reading?
Avatar f tn ok I have had the stress test for abnormal EKG, I passed this test with flying colors but have not yet heard the results. Would this be a good thing?
Avatar n tn I have had two sets of chest xrays done and they show nothing as well. I went in for a stress test and it appeared to be "abnormal". I went in for an angiogram and the doctor assures me that my heart is in excellent shape except for a very small blockage. I continue to have the tightness in my chest and the feeling of being flush. I have a blood pressure of 100 over 60 and a pulse of 72. I have had no other problems in the past. I am at a loss as to where to go next.
Avatar f tn I had my results come back for my pap today and the test results came back abnormal for high risk HPV. I have been reading a lot on here and how common this really is...... So my questions are: 1) The guy i have been seeing is 32 and has been with well over 5 women........Is it really worth mentioning it to him cause he is probably a carrier already? I mean why add the stress of it if it wasn't type 6 or 11? 2) I have also read that this type of HPV hardly ever leads to cancer.
Avatar f tn My past two cycles have been abnormal with short cycle spans and spotting in between. I usually have a 26 day cycle that lasts 4 days. I had a pap test done in Feb that was normal. On my second last cycle I had intercourse on CD13 which is when I usually ovulate. 10 days later I had light brown spotting for two days that turned into a period that lasted 7 days ( which is longer than usual ). My first instinct was that there was an egg implantation that didn't take.
Avatar f tn Abnormal exercise tolerance test die to diagnostic ST segment changes, without chest pain; Functional Class I; Normal incremental hemodynamic response to exercise; No exercise induced arterial desaturation; No significant induced arrhythmias Profusion Summary: Abnormal myocardial perfusion study; apical, apical wall ischemia Any more thoughts/advice/suggestions based on this more precise information? Thanks in advance.
Avatar f tn They ran echo, ekg, Ct of chest and nuclear stress. The images in the nuclear stress test did not match. The Dr said that they isotopes did not go to the front of my chest but he did not know why. He said it did not show a blockage. He told me to go home, take it easy and follow up in his office in a few weeks. He said he was unsettled that it they did not match. I am at a loss, leaving the hospital with chest pain and an abnormal nuclear stress test is unsettleing. Any advice or thoughts?

Avatar f tn The abnormal stress tests would be in regard to to blood flow through the vessels with rest and with exercise. The echo will view the structual integrity of the heart walls, chamber size, blood flow through the valves with a doppler test, intra chamber pressures, and the ejection rate (amt. of blood pumped with each heartbeat), etc. If you have an abnormal stress test, the echo will help determine if there is any heart damage due to the condition observed with the stress test.
Avatar n tn I recently had an abnormal thallium test showing inferior-apical ischemia. Calcium score was zero. My cardiologist considers the thallium test a false positive. I also have an unrelated arrythmia (pvc's) for the past 10 years controlled with atenolol. I am considered high risk for cardiac cath due to the arrythmia. In addition I have mild plaque in both carotid arteries.
Avatar m tn An EKG will show what your heart is doing AT THE TIME OF THE TEST. If you are having a heart attack during the test, naturally that will show up. If you had an MI that damaged your heart in the past, the damage will show up, but it will NOT automatically mean it was an MI that caused the damage. Stress WILL alter the results. The doctor who read these EKG results would have referred you to a cardiologist IMMEDIATELY if he was concerned about the "slightly abnormal" results.
Avatar m tn what does the stress test mean when it comes back abnormal with impressions of small area of mild distal anterior wall ischemia, no fixed defect to suggest .
Avatar m tn i went to a pre employment stress test yesterday and the doc found an abnormal heartbeat towards the end of the test, 4 in succession a few different times when my bpm were over 150. i am scheduled for a nuclear test on monday.any idea what he could be looking for? my bloodwork came back normal no blood pressure, potassium or cholestrol problems at all.
Avatar f tn 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%.
Avatar f tn You may hear how stress cannot cause an exacerbation in MS. However, there is evidence stress has a direct affect on MS, and other chronic illnesses. There is a lot of literature on the net to support this claim. If you are intested in reading more about that - I can provide you some links.
1076228 tn?1256348980 t get it, the cardilogist told me as I was getting off the treadmill, that it looks fine, and I get a phone call at home the next Day telling me is abnormal, I guess the images after the test, since I had to wait and take some more, but what can abnormal with the heart at rest that doesn't show when I am on the the treadmill, not for long by the way., my optimal heart rate for my age was achieved in about 2 minutes, plus one minute after injection of the cardiolite. Please help. kiki808.
Avatar n tn In my case it was more a burning sensation in the center of my chest. I could also feel it radiate up to my jaw and in my arms. I was never really short of breath, but I was nauseated and sweating. The last time I was also shaking. I knew someting was wrong. At times even now I have a strange tingling in my upper back between my shoulder blades. Have you had any discomfort of this type?
