A member asked:
Hi i had a stress test done where they put the dye in my iv and my paper work says a small mild perfusion defect of apical aspect of the anteroseptal ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perfusion defect: Hi, was the defect reversible or irreversible? The perfusion defect simply means that there is reduced blood flow to a part of the heart muscle, there are couple of possibilities including blockage in the artery feeding that area, an old heart attack or an artifact due to the test not being perfect or the heart muscle at that moment is hibernating due to chronic low blood flow, I suggest that you
