A member asked:
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?

Difficult understand last part of the report. Suggest ask your cardiologist for explanation.

It means part of your heart is scarred likely from rusty arteries in your heart. The nuc stress test is better than EKG in picking this up The radiation stuff they give you get secreted into the stomach and may high what is going in heart Discuss with the Dr who knows you.

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."?
What does this mean from a stress test? Small sized, mildly reduced, fixed, apical perfusion defect consistent with artifact.
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?
I just had a nuclear stress test and one of the conclusions was: Small size mild intensity reversible perfusion defect of the inferoapical segment with extension into the lateral apical segment consistent with ischemia. What does that mean?
Recent stress test results says; Image quality is poor but there is medium size, moderate partially reversible perfusion defect of the inferior wall What does this mean?
