What Do Small Fixed Anteroseptal Defect And Ejection Fraction Of 55 Percent Indicate?
I am 75 years old and had a double heart bypass in 2002. Had angina but no heart attack. I recently had nuclear stress test because I have some shortness of breath. Results are small fixed anteroseptal defect , no ischemia seen well preserved LV function and resting ejection fraction is 55% . Can you tell me in plain English what this is.

Hello,
Nothing to worry, all is well. Ejection fraction of 55 percent is a good report. Continue your all medicines, don’t smoke, go on a regular walk and you can have no more than 30 ml whiskey daily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. RS Gulati
