This is my report from my pharmacological Stress test: Indications Angina Pectoris Findings: The patient stressed for 4 minutes The patient achieved 1 METS Rest heart rate was 60 The patients age predicted max heart rate was 156 Patient achieved 98 bpm - 63% of aged-predicted heart rate Maximum bp was 132/78 mmHg, yielding a double product of 11.9k which were considered to be not adequate baseline EKG revealed NSR FINDINGS LVEF The calculated left ventricular ejection fraction is 46% LV size normal PERFUSION 45% fixed and 6% reversible distal anterior wall defect. 2% fixed and 24% distal lateral wall defect WALL MOTION normal CONCLUSION EJECTION FRACTION 46% WHICH IS BELOW NORMAL DISTAL ANTERIOR AND LATERAL WALL INFARCTS WITH PERI-INFARCT ISCHEMIA. i AM SCHEDULED FOR A CATHERIZATION BUT WONDER IF THESE RESULTS WOULD INDICATE STENT PLACEMENT OR WOULD LEAN TOWARD A CORONARY BYPASS. I ALSO WONDER IF IT USUALLY REQUIRES AN OVERNIGHT STAY WITH STENT PLACEMENT i DO HAVE THE DISC AVAILABLE ALSO
