Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Myocardial Perfusion Study Shows Reversible Perfusion Abnormality In The Inferior Wall And The Ejection Fraction Given. What Does This Mean?
what does this mean: The myocardial perfusion study completed November 1, 2013 reported normal wall motion and a small area of reversible perfusion abnormality in the inferior wall extending to the inferoseptum. No fixed defect was reported. Ejection fraction was preserved at 59%.
Thanks for the query. This means that under stress, there is an area at the inferior (bottom) surface of the heart that does not get enough blood, and may be due to a blocked artery. This should be looked further into by a cardiologist.
Hope that is useful, wish you the best,
Dr. Brenes-Salazar MD
