Question 1

my tmt is negative  for inducible ischemia no angina no arrhythmia?

Accepted Answer

That is great: If you have no risk factors, if your exercise treadmill is negative with no CP and arrhthmia, your risk of having cardiac event in next3 -5 yrs is very low.

Question 2

ett done to check fitness,resting ekg lvl -1.3 peak lvl -0.3, final lvl -0.8 in lead avr, lead v1 rest lvl -0.1,peak lvl -0.4,final lvl -0.4.have irbbb. the ett was stated negative for stress induce ischemia.is resting level in minus ok?

Accepted Answer

: To be considered a valid and complete test, one considers 8 factors: One's age, heart rate achieved, time until treadmill was slowed, blood pressure response, ST depression in all leads (except AVR), slope of the ST segments, symptoms during the test, and heart rhythm during the entire test.  Tables give the predicted max heart rate response, and tell if it was a maximal stress test.

Question 3

i have told that i have induced ischemia in the anteroseptal wall , what dose she means?

Accepted Answer

Ischemia: This is usually used to describe results of a stress test which means that  with certain provocation (exercise or chemical) you have ischemia ( lack of blood flow ) to a part of the heart called the anteroseptal wall usually served by the left anterior descending artery.

Question 4

what is stress-induced ischemia? how is it treated?

Accepted Answer

Stress ischemia: Under the conditions of physical or emotional stress the more rapid heart rate and higher blood pressure can produce myocardial ischemia. It is treated with nitrates and beta blockers to try and reorder supply and demand. Stress induced peripheral ischemia is treated with peripheral vasodilator medications.

Question 5

excercise induced myocardial ischemia strongly positive at 90 percent mhr good excercise tolerance in a jogger no other symptoms what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Ischemia: I would assume this test was done for a reason, you do not mention symptoms. The results are best discussed with the ordering physician who can provide you with options, this needs to be treated, don't ignore it.

Question 6

i had a stress echo and the results say images were technically difficult but no evidence of stress induced ischemia. what does images were technically difficult mean? does that mean i need them to repeat the test. the dr said it was normal. concenrd?

Accepted Answer

Technically: Difficult suggests anatomic artifacts or structures obscuring the view, typical for fat tissue. If the doctor cleared it in the context of your symptoms and other tests, that should be reassuring for you. If follow up was recommended with or without tests, that was not for having an abnormal test, but due to the  need for surveillance given your overall medical history.

Question 7

how accurate are nuclear stress tests, and what does a negative result mean?  no ischemia?  no detectable ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Good, not perfect: You've asked an excellent question about which books are written. The accuracy depends on the likelihood that pathology is present and the prevalence of the disease in the population studied. Broadly, a negative test is 80% accurate but can lower your chance  of disease from &gt;60% to &lt;20%. Practically, let your doc decide for you based on your unique issues whether more tests are indicated.

Question 8

i had a nuc stress test and dr. told me it was negative, but i was recently declined for insurance due to mild ischemia. is test neg? what should i do

Accepted Answer

May be artifact: Get full report from test. Some minor fixed defects are often attributed to artifact, and have no clinical significance.  Check with your doc, and you may be able to challenge the insurance co decision.

Question 9

father had cabg 4 yrs bfr his age now 60 yrs. al test normal lvef 67% tmt result tmt borderline positive for induced ischemia , serious or wat to do?

Accepted Answer

Cardiology eval: Need to go to a cardiologist and possibly get a cardiac cath done under fluoro to see patency of coronary arteries, flow  and blood distribution, etc. to get all the answers you seek...

Question 10

normal stress echo with no evidence of stress induced myocardial ischemia but abnormal exercise stress at 9.1 mets? reached 94% of hr.

Accepted Answer

Ur initial ST: Is more likely false positive.With ur young age and i presume with no risk factors like hypertension , diabetes, high lipids ; strong family history of heart disease, i won't worry about it. Follow up with ur pcp or cardiologist. Take care and mabuhay! http://www.M.Webmd.Com/heart-disease/guide/stress-test--(dupe).
