My recent nuclear stress test resulted in a conclusion of 1. "Small to moderate size apico-septal wall ischemia & 2. Gated spect w midly decreased ventricular function of 48% w hypokinesis most marked in the apical wall". Does this mean I have a 48% blockage of a coronary artery? If noit, can yoiu explain what these conclusions mean & if another catherization (& possible stent) is called for?
I'm a male, 65 yrs. old, w history of a (mild) heart attack 9 yrs ago resulting in stent #1 & stent #2 about 18 months later (due to restinosis). I'm currently taking 50mg Metoprolo, 75mg Plavix, 81mg enteric aspirin & 40 mg Crestor a day. I feel fine but realize I need to lose about 30 lbs.
Thanks, In Advance.
