A member asked:
Nuclear stress test is fine but "perfusion is mildly nonuniform but appears preserved throughout myocardium."what does this mean? should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't worry: There is often a difference between true perfusion (circulation of blood) and the APPEARANCE of perfusion on a nuclear stress test. Variations in the thickness of the chest wall, caused by breast tissue or other factors, could explain the findings on your test. Most important, however is your doctor's overall assessment based on all known information.

I had an abnormal nuclear stress test.what does it mean if I have ischemia in the apical regions of the myocardium.And it says. Mild LAE,mild cLVH,nlLVSF/EF 60-65%,mild AoV sclerosis s stenosis,nl IVC.i don't understand it all?
What does this mean from a stress test? Small sized, mildly reduced, fixed, apical perfusion defect consistent with artifact.
I just had a nuclear stress test and one of the conclusions was: Small size mild intensity reversible perfusion defect of the inferoapical segment with extension into the lateral apical segment consistent with ischemia. What does that mean?
My stress tests showed 73% ejection fraction at rest and 77% post stress? Is this good for someone age 84? My impression says mildly abnormal myocardial perfusion study? What does all of this mean?
I had a nuclear stress test. Interpetation says SPECT IMAGES demonstrate a small mild intensity reversible perfusion defect involving the distal anterior wall which suggests ischemia in the LAD. what does this mean?
