Stress MRI v Stress MPS
In a letter from Cardiology it says " from the MPS it reveals there is a total
Perfusion
Defect affecting 16% of the Myocardium 4 % is reversible and 12% is fixed.

myocardial perfusion stress test and PD
I'm scheduled to have a nuclear stress test at the end of the week. Among other things it involves an injection of a tiny dose of radioactive thallium and seeing how the heart muscle reacts. Are there any of you who have had this test and did it have an effect on your pd? Thanks, Jon

A Couple of Tips...
Supplemental oxygen abolishes this constriction, leading to poor ventilation/
perfusion
matching. This redistribution of blood to areas of the lung with poor ventilation reduces the amount of carbon dioxide eliminated from the system.

Myocardial Profusion Scan
There is a total
perfusion
defect affecting 16% of the Myocardium 4 % of this is reversible and 12% is fixed and non reversible !!! Anyone know would this defect be as a result of my previous Heart Attack or just long term decline??

AF and dementia issues
'Patients with AF have been found to have reduced cerebral
perfusion
'. 'Hypoperfusion' stood out for me. It is an inadequate supply of oxygen and nutrients (to the brain). When I'm in AF, I'm often short of breath, and also feel like I can't think or concentrate.

Slow AF
I recently had a
perfusion
scan which involved an ECG. The technician who looked at the results said I was not in AF but the consultant said AF was present but was 'slow'. I've not heard of this before. Does any one have experience of slow AF?

I've now received an appointment for Monday 21st Aug to get 2 tests called NM lung ventilation spect and NM lung
perfusion
spect, I've no idea what this is for or what they will do but for some reason I'm terrified I can't stop crying. The only clue the letter gives is nuclear medicin .

Myocardial perfusion scan results
Hi everyone, I hope someone can shed some light on my results from a myocardial
perfusion
scan. I had drug induced stress test first and then a rest test. The results say 'shows a small reversible defect in the apical segment of the antero-septal wall.

Myocardial perfusion scans
In case anyone else has had this suggested to them, here's my experience this week. Basically, it's a radionuclid scan of the heart to see if there are any problems with coronary vessel narrowing etc. First, you get ECG monitored under stress. Apparently this used to be done with a treadmill, but now

Predisolone diary 6: struggling to stick to 4mg
Last week, I had a myocardial
perfusion
scan, which seems to have set me further back. Since having it, my chest feels tighter and my breathing is more laboured. Coincidence? My joints are feeling more achy too, so I fear that this may all suggest that I need to increase my steroids again....

Heart failure and possible chd
I am having a nuclear

stress test on 11th July 2017 and a resting test on 13th July to check for CHD. I had the same stress test done 7 years ago and my coronary arteries were clear.

Feeling a little guilty!
I have had COPD tests and am clear, and have just had a myocardial
perfusion
stress test, which was not pleasant, and also the same test without stressing the heart. I am at present awaiting the results.

Post Perfusion Syndrome (Pumphead)
The question is, we have done much research on the Internet and come across Post
Perfusion
Syndrome also sometimes known as Pumphead. And are wondering if this may be a cause of my being like I am and if there is any treatment.

wheezing after lung scan
I went to the hospital yesterday because it was getting worse, so they did a Pulmonary Ventilation
perfusion
Scan.

Stressed by Stress Test
So one page has.... some reversible
perfusion
is noted at the apex and apical lateral wall, otherwise normal activity in rest of myocardium. The other says ...stress induced ischemia Pam

Kidney advice please
I have seen a cardiologist and I am due to go for a miocardial
perfusion
scan although the cardiologist assures me he doesn't think any damage has been done , the scan is just to make certain. I really have no idea what the possible diagnosis means.
