A member asked:
Spect myocardial scan: there is fairly homogeneous uptake noted throughout the left ventricle on both the stress and rest images. what does this mea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NoEvidence ↓ed blood: flow to muscle of the left ventricle during exercise vs. during rest. Yet beware: "stress tests", all forms, do NOT detect arterial disease; are only capable of detecting complications; plaque rupture induced clots large enough to create a >75% narrowing of major heart arteries. In my experience EKG stress works better than nuclear/echo & less $ yet still same problems. Seek better & my answers.

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?

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??
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?
Normal stress but abnormal myocardial moderate inferior partial reversible perfusion. What means. How stress test normal and rest abnormal.
What's the clinical significance of having a normal EKG and echocardiogram at rest but seeing PVCs and PACs during a stress test? Do PVCs and PACs indicate a myocardial injury? Blood test is also normal. What other tests should be ordered?
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."?
