A member asked:

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?

The ejection fraction is actually slightly greater than the "normal range", so it would be termed "hyperkinetic" or "hyperdynamic". However, the comment, "mildly abnormal" might refer to an area of reduced blood perfusion (flow)...this should be clarified.
