Question 1

myocardial. medium perfusion defect moderate intensity in basal mid inferior basal inferior partial reversibility. ef54%. tid .97 abnormal redegenson.

Accepted Answer

Sounds like you: must have had symptoms leading to the stress test. It is positive from your description. The next step is a heart cath. See a health care professional for evaluation and treatment as soon as possible.

Question 2

can you tell me what reversible ischemia in the basal and mid inferior walls of the heart means please?

Accepted Answer

"Significant" block: Infer you have had an imaging study, using exercise or a pharmacologic agent to induce or provoke ischemia, and then using an imaging agent like a radioactive tracer, to show blood flow distribution. Subtracting a resting image from the "stress" image shows what areas have inadequate blood flow.  Since the blood comes from the coronary arteries, a reversible image implies partial, not total, block.

Question 3

lvef 41% at stress.reversible ischemia involving apicoanterior, distal anteroseptal..reduced, non reversible perfusion involving the mid basal.means?

Accepted Answer

Injury/ Ischemia: Those results indicate an area of scar or u perfumed area in mid basal probably indicating some prior damage to heart. Of more concern is area of reversible ischemia which may indicate blockage in the the LAD distribution of the coronaries. Would discuss catheterization and possible intervention with your doctors to preserve as much LV function as possible, soon!

Question 4

what does this mean ? impost: basal & mid inferior wall, basal inferoseptal segments are abnormal , this was finding on an echo stress . i have copd

Accepted Answer

Stress echo: Depending on the nature of abnormality you likely have disordered heart muscle function in the described areas indicative commonly of coronary artery stenosis ;talk to your physician

Question 5

total wall motion score is 1.18. hypokinesis of the basal to mid anteroseptal wall. hypokinesis of the mid inferoseptal wall. the remaining left ventricular segments demonstrate normal wall motion. ef 47%. is this score terrible?

Accepted Answer

: Your wall motion score of 1:18 is mildly abnormal as is your LVEF of 47%. There is weakness of contraction of left ventricular muscle in 3 areas. Possible causes are damage from coronary blockages with subsequent myocardial infarction or thickening of the wall of the ventricle in those areas. There is either ischemic cardiomyopathy or nonischemic  cardiomyopathy. The cardiologist will order tests

Question 6

what this means?

myocardial perfusion imaging with tc-99m sestamibi after exercise
revealed no scintigraphic evidence of hemodynamically significant
ischemia. medium-sized, mid to basal inferior wall
mild-to-moderate mostly fixed perfusion deficit, excep

Accepted Answer

Mild abnormal result: It means the nuclear stress test showed a small area with abnormal blood flow during exercise and also abnormal during rest. Could indicate a blockage of the coronary artery or could be a "false positive" result.  Depends on why the test was done and other details regarding the patient such as symptoms? Exercise tolerance? Risk factors for heart disease? Happy to consult in more detail if needed

Question 7

skin biopsy result: superficial to mid dermal perivascular lymphocytic infilitrate with focal basal vacuolar changes.does thismean allergic vasculitis?

Accepted Answer

No: There is no involvement of the blood vessels themselves- thus not vasculitis by definition. This is a very common skin biopsy finding which has no diagnostic meaning other than ruling out a more serious condition.

Question 8

what are the causes of mid-upper ab pain?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Reflux disease, gastritis, ulcers, pancreatitis, and gallstones are common treatable causes of this pain. Depending on your age, cancer can also be a possible cause of this pain.

Question 9

what is mid-folicular?

Accepted Answer

Follicular phase: The follicular phase begins on day one of the menstrual cycle and usually lasts about 14 days. I am familiar with mid-luteal phase but not mid-follicular. Perhaps one of the ob/gyn doctors can shine more light on this.

Question 10

what is a healthy mid-afternoon snack?

Accepted Answer

Vegetables, fruits..: A healthy mid afternoon snack would follow the guidelines for most foods, that is plenty of fruits and vegetables, possibly a whole grain starch (rice cake, etc), or maybe some nuts.  What is healthy for you also depends on your weight and any associated medical conditions that you have.  You should ask your provider.
