What Causes Shadow On The Heart In The Nuclear Stress Test?

I had a Nuclear stress test on the heart yesterday and the cardiologist wants me to come in to see her as to discuss a shadow on the heart. I have recently been diagnosed with AFib. No previous heart attack but I do have a left bundle branch block that I ve known about for years. What could cause the shadow?
