A member asked:
Results from a nuclear stress test: abnormal perfusion study with severe partly reversible distal septal and apical defect, small in size.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You should have: a followup visit with the cardiologist that ordered this study. Best if you follow his/her recommendations for diagnosis and treatment given the complexity of stress testing and the difficulty in interpreting results without any clinical knowledge of the patient in question. This medium is not a suitable place to give interpretations of complex studies such as these. Thanks for trusting in HT.
