On my stress test results it states: 1mm horizontal ST depression noted at peak exercise which is positive for Ischemia.
Is that very bad or possibly not so bad?
CONCLUSIONS OF TEST- ABNORMAL STUDY DUE TO MARKED HORIZONTAL ST DEPRESSION IN MULTIPLE LEADS.
NORMAL MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION STUDY WITHOUT EVIDENCE OF ISCHEMIA
NORMAL GATED SPECT WITH NORMAL WALL MOTION AND THICKENING.
WHAT DOES MARKED HORIZONTAL DEPRESSION IN MULTIPLE LEADS MEAN?
MY FAMILY DOCTOR SAID JUST THAT TEST WAS NORMAL. AND I GOT COPY OF TEST.
The electrical findings from your exercise treadmill test (i.e. 0.5 mm ST depression and T inversion during recovery) are non-specific, so they do not necessary mean that you have an artery of the heart occluded. That is the reason why your doctors need to study your heart in more detail with a heart cath (coronary angiogram). The cath result could be completely normal but it was reasonable to start you on bisoprolol and aspirin in the meantime as a preventive intervention. Good luck.
At my regular check up my dr found st depression. he wants me to have a stress test
I am female, 49, not overweight, no diabetes, take toprol 25 for high blood pressure which manages it. Haven't had a cigarette for 15 years do'nt drink ( a glass or two of wine a week). Eat healthy.
I panic at doctors and my heart rate during the test was 93 as opposed to my normal 60.
I'm very stressed and don't want to go down the rabbit hole of testing if not necessary.
5 mm, and after the SVT there was slight down-sloping ST segment depression. In an earlier stress test, in 1997, there was also slight down-sloping ST depression during recovery. A gallop rhythm started and was left prevailing.
3. In a 24-h holter recording in 2011 (with 75 mg atenolol, and Multaq) I have also had ventricular ectopic beats (92 single and 10 pairs).
During a few years I have been thinking that could I have long QT syndrome.
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..
thanks for answer. my blood work was normal but showed dehydration. Could that have effected it do you think? Also I had a little fever (99.5)-- he said I was probably fighting something off.
I looked back at the stress test procedure reports that showed an ST depression that I had, and the language wasn't the same. However, depressions were treated seriously, and frankly when I had ST depressions, it lead to heart stents and finally, heart bypass surgery. I agree with Jon that it sounds like you have a blockage, and suggest you procede as soon as possible to have an Angioplasty study. Hopefully, simply a balloon procedure to open the blockage can be done. Do keep us informed.
Accelerated HR and normal BP response ST Depression in L2,L3, AVF, V4-V6. Stress test is positive for inducible myocardial ischemia. Exercise capacity is good.
I did not had any pain during the complete test cycle.
The doctor said there is a very very mild change in the stress test and considering my family history (2 of my fathers younger brothers died due to heart attack) suggested for an invasive angiogram to rule out any possibility of a heart problem.
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.
She gets sweating wlile walking app 200m distence for last 5-6 years. so her stress test was done. baseline ECG is normal. On Bruce protocol she could walk for upto 2 min on treadmill. There were no ECG changes during test, but during recovery phase she developed ST depression with T inversion in II, III, AVF , I, aVL and V2 to V6 for 10 min. She was not having chest pain at that time.
She is undergoing Cor angio shortly. What is the probability that she can have Triple vessel disease?
and in Sept I had an exercise stress test. When I went to have the stress test preformed, the doctor did not place the cuff on correctly. It get slipping and they kept having a problem getting it to work. During the test I felt fine. But the test kept taking the incorrect blood pressure measurements and over halfway through it , they stopped the test..
That was in Sept.
Based on the description, it sounds like the test revealed a change in your EKG under stress, most likely an ST Segment Depression. There are many causes for this. It could be something as simple as a lead that was not placed properly. I would just wait for the test, if your doctor had any immediate concerns you would already have had the test, just try to relax. (easier said than done!
There is much information of what constitutes a significant ST segment depression during stress test. It is generally acknowledged tht ST segment depreciation greater than (1 mm) that persists for more than .08 seconds is suggestive of CAD.
If the depression of (2 mm) is used as a criterion the number of false positives is greatly reduced, BUT the number of false negatives results increase.
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?
I just had a stress test, and was told that I failed it due to ST wave depression. I have to go back for a stress echo. My doctor said it was mild and just over what they consider normal. I'm 31 and a healthy eater, and exercise regularly. I have a hard time believing I could have CAD. Does anyone know what this could be? I was told to avoid strenuous exercise until my next test so I'm freaked out.
Rare PVCs during exercise: I'm not sure what "rare" is in numbers but I guess it's just a couple or a few PVCs. That's nothing to worry about. If you had more than 10% PVCs during exercise, that's from what I understand slightly concerning.
The biphasic T waves is something you may discuss with your doctor who knows the report in detail. It may be something that follows ST depression but it may also be coincidental.
