Mental stress induced ischemia

Common Questions and Answers about Mental stress induced ischemia

stress

Avatar n tn Imaging portion of the stress test normal mean there was no induced ischemia during the perfusion phase of the test? Does previous ischemia mean there had been occlusions with intervional treatment?
Avatar m tn What is nonreversible apical inferior wall and what does it mean when they say no dipyridamole-induced reversible ischemia .there is mild defect in the apical inferior wall that is not reversible at rest.
Avatar m tn Subtle stress induced reversible perfusion defect along the mid inferior wall suggest stress induced ischemia and the defect has a subtle more fixed appearance on the apical inferior wall. My husband has CAD, PTCA w/ 1 stent 2016, CABG x3 2014 This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/Heart-Disease/Stress-Test-Results/show/1802166">Stress Test Results</a>.
Avatar f tn Hi, the report states that there is no evidence of ischemia, meaning the blood supply to the heart muscle is normal. Normal heart Rate is 60-180 and the rhythm is sinus rhythm. Bradycardia implies that the heart rate is below the normal range. Otherwise the other findings are not significant. Regards.
Avatar f tn Myocardial perfusion imaging tests for 2 main things: ischemia and infarct. If you have ischemia, it means there is poor blood flow to the heart at stress but not at rest. When you have this, your doctor may decide to intervene by dilating and/or stenting your coronary arteries. Your report says you do not have this.
Avatar m tn Usually, reversable ischemia is an expression as a result of a stress test.. During a stress test, a radioisotope (named thallium or sestamibi) is injected at rest and images are obtained of blood flow to the heart muscle. Then, the same injection and images are obtained just after maximum exercise. The rest and exercise images are directly compared to determine if an area that has good blood supply at rest has a reduction in blood supply at peak exercise.
Avatar n tn No evidence of 
stress-induced LV chamber dilation. 
I will be taking a beta blocker and a cardiac echo is ordered. If I have increased chest pain, pressure, or shortness of breath I am to be scheduled for a heart Cath. What's going on?!
Avatar n tn No reversible ischemia (lack of blood flow) indicates hypoperfusion (decreased blood flow) at rest or without stress (exercise, etc.) induced ischemia. "Injury to the myocardial cells results when the ischemic process is more severe. Subendocardial injury on a surface ECG is manifested by ST segment depression, and subepicardial or transmural injury is manifested as ST segment elevation.
Avatar n tn No ST segment changes indicates there is no induced ischemia (lack of blood flow) to heart muscles with exertion. 10 METs is good...for a reference a well conditioned athlete can sustain 15 METs or better. It requires 5 METs to meet ordinary living conditions without chest pain and shortness of breath. That is the Bruce protocol. With Bruce Protocol speed and elevation changes are made at 3 minute intervals.
Avatar f tn An echocardiogram is the EF measurement at rest and the gated sestamibi scan is the post-stress scan and will not represent basal LV function in all patients with stress-induced ischemia. Ischemia-induced LV dysfunction after completion of exercise in patients is limited and inconsistent. You may want to discuss with your doctor about the discrepancy between the two tests.
Avatar m tn i am male 51 went for a stress test conclusion was Exercise induced ischemia at peak levels in lateral leads doctors said that at 150bpm there was a negative result of -1.75 which was bad an earlier test done five years back had no indication of this , what is the interpration of this result and how serious is this? i do not smoke or drink and do not exercise . help This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/253602'>Stress Test Interpretation</a>.
Avatar m tn I started having chest pains about 2 months ago.On the left side of the chest. The pains are mild but frequent. I was diagnosed with high bp and cholesterol. Physical exertion did not seem to trigger or intensify these pains. Last week I had a positive thallium stress test with 'stress induced ischemia'. Upon receiving these results my doctors office called me and told me to go straight to an ER.
Avatar n tn Do you have any blockages from the ischemia? If so, this is why you tire easily. Your systolic pressure is high, you really need to get this down, are you on any BP meds? If you can give us a little more information about yourself, it would help a lot. Thanks!
Avatar n tn I have had a very mild heart pain for many years. It never occurs during exercise, always at rest. Numerous doctors have told me it was musculoskeletal but I have always worried about it. My father passed away from a heart attack at age 57 and my mother had bypass at age 65. I do have trouble managing my weight (200 lbs at 5 ft 6 in) but my blood pressure and cholesterol have always been very good.
Avatar m tn reversible ischemia indicates some vessel blckage that is located in the area described (inferior wall). Perfusion defect is induced ischemia observed with the injected agent, but partially reversible...did you have a heart attack? Need more information.
Avatar m tn 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.
212161 tn?1599427282 Hi, we'll I had my stress test done, just the exercise one with no dye or pictures, I ran it about 7 mins got my heart to 104 percent, could of keep going if I needed to, had no chest pains, or sob. They said you passed sent me on my way. Good news My question is , without pics how much can they tell about the heart, if I had a blockage would it had shown up? Should I feel good about my heart? Thank you so much for all your time.
Avatar n tn abnormal dual-isotope stress test with evidence on anterolateral ischemia and small anterior scar. The global left ventricular systolic function was preserved with an LVEF of 60%. Wall motion analysis demonstrated only mild decreased conractility of the interventricular septum. The control electrocardiogram was normal. There were EKG changes of chemically induced ischemial during adenosine infusion. There was no dysrhythmia. Am I at risk for a heart attack??
