A member asked:
What does mild decrease in inferoapical lv activity means in a nuclear stress test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hepatic shadowing of: gamma photons emitted from the bottom (inferoapical) wall of the left ventricle; typical of all gamma camera nuclear scans of heart muscle via uptake of radioactive substances. Most radiation is released & reabsorbed within your body (& liver), never makes it past your skin, much less ever detected by the very insensitive gamma camera systems. These tests miss all disease less than very advanced.

I had a nuclear stress test. Interpetation says SPECT IMAGES demonstrate a small mild intensity reversible perfusion defect involving the distal anterior wall which suggests ischemia in the LAD. what does this mean?
Can a Nuclear stress test miss something, for someone who is symptomatic at high level of activity, and have about 40% LAD ( previous cath ) ? is this Test perfect ? Thanks Drs.
