nuclear stress test results interpretation

On my treadmill exercise tolerance test results (nuclear stress test), my cardiologist wrote in the "Interpretation" section: Summary: HR Response to Exercise: Appropriate. Chest Pain: None. Arrhythmias: atrial premature beats. ST Changes: 1mm Depression horizontal. Overall Impression: borderline Positive stress test suggestive of ischemia. My doctor told me verbally that my results were fine..

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.

What ever the result said..... My cardio said, for women they're all "artefact"! Then why sent the women to have Nuclear Stress Test or Echo? Unfortunately, the next echo turned out that I've already had myocardial infarction. The test resulted "artefact" or my cardio judged "artefact"?

t agree on why I did so well on the stress test. Q. Can some one do this well on a stress test, ie 13.5 minutes and still have major heart problems? What's next?

t go into all the boring details, but it took some effort on my part to convince my doctors that I was concerned about my heart. I was given a nuclear stress test. My cardiologist said it showed no problems except that the bottom of my heart was beating slower than the top of my heart. He said he couldn't see it well on test results because of a shadow, but that if I wanted to look into it further that I should let him know.

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). I've formed a preliminary impression from my research on the Internet, but I would appreciate professional feedback. I am scheduled for a heart catheterization. Thank you.

VCA IgM - negative Early Antigen (EA), IgG - positive/high VCA IgG - positive/high Nuclear Antigen - negative This combo of positives/negative was not in the ‘interpretation’ section of the results document. Her interpretation was that I had been infected with EBV in the past and something else might be causing a high EA. The lab result sheet it’s with a flag that HIV, Hepatitis A and C can cross link with the assay and raise EA levels so she took blood to test for all three.

Should a nuclear stress test be performed by a cardiologist? My father, who is 82, is scheduled to have basal thumb arthritis surgery on the 15th of Feb. His doctor of internal medicine wants to do a nuclear stress test to make sure his heart is strong enough to be subjected to general anesthesia. He has leaky valves. We are concerned that this may be a procedure that should be done by a specialist.

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.

This can be cause by a reversible defect or blockage in an artery and is usually verified by a nuclear stress test of a cath. Also, it would appear that your exercise and oxygen uptake tolerance were decreased as well/ What did your doctor have to say? Let us know.

I have not had a nuclear stress test done, just a regular stress test. That was normal. Getting the MUGA done tomorrow. I weigh 120 lbs. Non smoker. No Diabetes.Normal cholesterol level. I am hypothyroid tho, taking medication for that, fatigue and muscle pain is an issue for me. So I try to exercise but cant do it regularly. So this is reversible?? my cardio said it will stay the same for the rest of my life, if not get worse. The EF level can also be considered moderate ?

from there they sent me to get a nuclear stress test and that showed everything was fine, so my question is why did 2 out of 3 test were positive, should i believe that everything is fine...I am a 56 yr old woman...

Adenosine is the radioactive tracer that they inject into your artery for the nuclear stress test. This link explains the test very well: http://my.clevelandclinic.org/heart/services/tests/nuclear/adenosine.aspx Good luck!

Overall, a nuclear stress test is about 85 - 90% accurate.Your chance of a cardiac event after a normal nuclear stress test is about 1.62% per year for the next 10 years, better than a sampling of the general public. Normally, a blockage will show up once it hits approx 70% occluded. I know you read about people that have a stress test that is normal and drop dead the next day, don't get too worked up about that.

resently had a nuclear stress test done and have gotten a copy of my records but having difficult understanding results the left ventricular ejection fraction was 40% and regional wall motion pattern was mildly globally hypokinetic the left ventricular is also mildly dilated with end diastolic volume 134 ml and end systolic volume 80 ml also my health is i had a kidney removed for a tumor of 7cm but was contained in kidney have enlarged prostate taking medication for as well as thyroid meds beli
