Totally confused! I was lead to believe that I had CAD, as I read this is another term for Ischemia!? Anyhow, after speaking with the Cardiologist nurse, in scheduling an appointment, I was told I do not have CAD but rather a mild heart defect... WTF?
This has me mind boggled, "Not hard to do". Any insight? Here are my findings:
Myocardial Perfusion Scan:
Findings;
In the apical mid anterior wall, there is a mild to moderate severity and mild to moderate sized reversible defect.
Sum stress score 4
Sum difference score 4
Estimated Quantitative data after stress:
Ejection fraction: 68% (gated SPECT EF less than 45% abnormal; 45-49% equivocal; greater than 50% normal)
End diastolic volume: 82ml
Wall Motion: Normal
Impression: Patient exercised to functional class I with the target heart rate reached. At this workload, the myocardial perfusion scan is mildly abnormal with Ischemia in the LAD distribution.
