I do not understand the results of my cardiolite stress test & my doctor is out of town for 2 weeks can you help?
1- Borderline electrocardiographic changes suspicious of myocardial ischemia but not diagnostic.
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?
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.
My husband is 66 and recently had a SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Study (stress test). It was essentially normal, with the exception of the following: "there is a moderate sized reversible defect of the inferior and apical walls". The left ventricle was normal in size and the ejection fractions were 57% at rest and 63% post stress. The internet resources suggest that such a defect could be indicative of a prior silent heart attack. Is this true?
At REst Pulse was 63 and BP was 118/90. Resting ECG Normal.
The patient exercsied for 13 minutes and 31 seconds on treadmill according to Bruce protocol and achieved 16 METS with peak pulse of 176 which is 101% of maximum and BP of 210/85.
During exercise there were PAC's but no Ischemic ECG changes or chest symptoms.
TOMOGRAPHIC MYOCADIAL PERFUSION REPORT: The stress myocardial perfusion tomograms show mild decrease in the proximal two-thirds of the inferior wall which improves at rest.
Quote: ".... on the stress images a small area of slightly diminished uptake is present in the distal anterior wall and appears unchanged between the stress and resting images and may represent an area of fixed ischemia or myocardial thinning."
>>The test report indicates there is an area of decreased myocardial blood flow either by fixed vessel occlusion (blockage during rest and exertion), etc.
My father 64 yrs went through a Thallium Stress test. His report reads the following, Could some one help me understand what it really means. He has had not heart ailments so far. He is Hypertensive and diabetic and takes regular medicines and is very strict with his diet and exercises daily.
The report
Stress Isotope myocardial perfusion scintigraphy done following i/v injection of 300 MBq at rest and 900 MBq of Tc99m Sesta-MIBI at Bruce. Mr. U.D. carried out exercise for 10:30 mins.
I had a nuclear stress test performed. The stress analysis was suggestive of ischemia. The myocardial perfusion analysis was abnormal showing a moderate reversible ischemia. Shouldn't I have follow-up testing for blockage? (I was never notified of this by my cardiologist. When I called for results, I was told everything was normal and no need for a follow-up appointment. I later received this report from my general practitioner--4 months later.
I recently had a nuclear stress test done after having some random chest pains and an abnormal regular stress test done. I got the results today and my follow up isn’t until Tuesday so I’m hoping someone can help me understand this better because google is scary.
A little background - I am a 34 year old female, slightly overweight, non smoker (but did smoke socially 10+ years ago) and I live an active lifestyle. I have anxiety but no other health problems.
