Explain Cardiolite report
by Blaz257, Dec 08, 2008 08:16PM
Could someone explain in laymans terms what these results mean:
Stress Perfusion Imaging: Results
Post stress images in the verical long axis, horizontal long axis, and short axis views demonstrate inferior and a portion of the apex hypoperfused.
Resting Perfusion Imaging: Results
Resting images in the veritcal long axis, horizontal long axis, and short axis views demonstrate partial filling in of the defect, approx. 50% of the defect is filled in.
Post stress/recovery gated ejection fraction is normal at 55%
Impression: Abnormal post stress Cardiolite and rest Thallium perfusion imaging revealing evidence of previous inferior-apical-lateral infarct, a rather small infarct with 50% of the area appearing to be ischemic.
Thank you

Small heart attack with heart tissue damage. Heart valves normal at 55% ejection fraction which is of a normal heart. Hope this helps.
