A member asked:
There is a medium-sized inferoseptal and a small sized apical defect worse at rest suggestive of soft tissue attenuation and reconstruction artifact.

Scan: I assume This is a nuclear cardiac stress test and if so, is consistent with scarred heart muscle possibly related to coronary artery blockages and old damage. I presume that your EKG was also abnormal. These important findings are best evaluated by a cardiologist skilled in interpreting nuclear cardiac scans, and who knows all your findings. Coronary Angiography may be recommended.

Had a Nuc Med scan and the left ventricle showed this."There is no significant motion during stress and rest imaging. There is moderate fixed perfusion defect in inferior wall with normal wall motion suggestive of diaphragmatic attenuation artifact."?
What does this mean from a nuclear stress test? Normal electrocardiographic response during stress. 3. The perfusion SPECT images reveal fixed perfusion defect in the apical inferior region. This is c/w attenuation artifact 2ry to increase GI uptake?
What does this mean from a stress test? Small sized, mildly reduced, fixed, apical perfusion defect consistent with artifact.
Had an abnormal ekg that said septal myocardial infarction probably old. my nuclear stress test showed 92% ejection fraction at rest and 80% post stress left ventricle, medium defect in the mid anterior apical wall minimally reversible. Meaning??
