A member asked:

Father's stress text revealed abnormal myocardial perfusion imaging due to sm area of mild ischemia in the apex. what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Test result: If I presume your Dad is the 87y/o person listed on this then the test result has good implications. The gross implication is that there is coronary artery disease present and it isn't producing a lot of ischemia. In an 87y/o without symptoms or minor symptoms, medical therapy is appropriate.
