I recently had a stress test the diagnosis i recieved was I had a small apical scar with a small amount of ischemia. What should I know about this. Thank you
Ischemia indicates a lack of sufficient blood flow to the area indicated. Scar tissue occurs when there is a diminished supply of blood sufficiently enough to cause cell necrosis. It may or may not present any functional problems depending on location and whether there are other blood vessels feeding blood into the area deficit from ischemia. Thank you for the question. and if you have any further questions, you are welcome to respond. Take care.
