Q: What does anterior apical small defect means as it relates to this perfusion test

>>>>>>Anterior apical is the location of the defect.  The defect appears to be due to an occlusion (occluded vessel) that interrupted the flow of blood (perfusion).  Small defect may not be of any medical significance, but if there is an occlusion that causes chest pain it can be treated with medication.  

Thanks for your question, and if you have any further comments or questions, you are welcome to respond.  Take care,
