A member asked:
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."?

Talk to cardiologist: This reads like it is likely a normal report that you should review with your doctor. Doctors who read a study often do not have the context of the study or patient when they have to read it. In this case, the cardiologist is saying that the study shows an abnormality that is normal in most people. If you had some unique medical history or were in the ICU, then their interpretation may not apply.
