A member asked:
I just had a exercise cardiolite imaging done and the test found a fixed inferior defect with normal wall motion in this distribution. can u explain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A "fixed": defect means there is an area that is not perfused in either stress or rest. Generally this implies a prior infarct. Sometimes there are artifactual causes for this finding, so talk to your doc about it.
