No
Not good….get that shit fixedI made my appointment for my stress test back in Feb and finally completed it today!
The technologist came out after the scanning was done and preliminarily reviewed for quality and told me to go home and absolutely do no exercise and call my Doc ASAP!
I went back to work and left a message for the Doc to call me and then looked up my test results. One thing I appreciate about Kaiser is how fast they update the records and make available for the patient to review. The stress study showed medium size, mild perfusion defect of the inferior wall. (Extent 11%, sum stress score 7) The rest study showed almost complete reversibility of these perfusion defects (extent 2%, sum rest score 2).
QUANTITATIVE PERFUSION DATA: Cedars SSS = 7, SRS = 2, SDS = 5
Gated stress study:
LV CHAMBER SIZE: Normal, calculated EDV = 121 mL
TID absent
LV EJECTION FRACTION: 43%
LV WALL MOTION: Mild hypokinesis of the inferior wall extending to apex.
Gated Rest study:
LV CHAMBER SIZE: Normal, calculated EDV = 117 mL
LV EJECTION FRACTION: 58%
LV WALL MOTION: No focal abnormalities of wall motion or abnormal thickening.
After 7 minutes on the tread mill my pulse went from 49BPM and BP 155/80 to 141 BPM and BP 202/101 with mild to severe upper chest pain at the peak of the test. Pain subsided as soon as the treadmill was shut off and I took a seat.
Obviously something is not right, will wait patiently for the Doc to call.
I took my new E bike out for a 5 mile ride last night and felt some discomfort in my chest and was glad that I was finally getting the test done today. I hope I just need to get back in the gym and get more exercise to regain some better cardiac health and function.
Carpe Diem
