What Causes Visibility Of Dark Spot On The Heart In Chemical Stress Test Report?
I had a chemical stress test for heart and it showed a dark spot on my heart, the cardiologist said the it does not appear to be a blockage since i had no pain when playing basketball or excising. He suggested that I have a cat scan or catheterizing procedure to be sure. What other heart issues could it be?

Hello,
* The dark spot in the heart chamber with chemical stress test may be indicative of various possibilities as
- previously insulted cardiac tissue healed with scarring or fibrosis
- deposit of iron or amyloid type material
- others
It is best recommended to get a catheterisation procedure for the final diagnosis and further management in this dilemma condition.
