Can someone interpret the results on my nuclear stress test?

[msharcourt]

I took a treadmill stress test and nuclear stress test.  I'm seeking help in understanding the results. The report indicated the following:

1. Good cardiac extraction.
2. Small area of very minor inferior reversible defect.
3. No transient ischemic dilatation.
4. Gated SPECT revealed no regional abnormalities.
5. Calculated ejection fraction is 76%.
Conclusions:
1. Small area of very mild inferior ischemia.
2. No regional wall abnormalities.
3. Calculated EF 76%.

At first, I though having an EF higher than 70% was a good indicator since good is 50-70%. But I have since read that "An ejection fraction measurement higher than 75 percent may indicate a heart condition such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy."

Thank you in advance for yout advice.

It could... it would be diastolic heartfailure.  But you could just have a well functioning heart.

I think in your case finding out the stroke volume in invaluable.
