myocardial perfusion scan results

[tigeress77]

hi

I had an echo which suggested possible diastolic dysfunction.
I have now had a myocardial perfusion scan and these are the results:-
mild reversibility in anterior wall although study is compromised by breast attenuation artefact.  No evidence of significant ischemia But her symptoms are typical angina so needs to be seen again.

Background
Started SOB(short of breath) on exertion then had chest pain with it few weeks later( went hosp as arm pain still there)  blood test came back positive for clot- couldn't find one in lungs.

After a major operation started then in routine after a while and my chest pain was with SOB and happening more.  Got referred for tests.

NOW
Still got the symptoms but getting more shortness breath on mild activity, very fatigued all time(came on sudden) and legs swollen and painful.  (keeps me awake sometimes even with tubigrip on, have to keep it on as helps)


QUESTION

What does scan mean- re mild reversibility etc?

I agree with Ed34. Also I think, while your symptoms are worsening, that you should try to get the testing done asap.

Well that was a bit confused because there was an attenuation. This is saying the density of your breast made the image unclear. Tell them to get your results with an angiogram once and for all. You are going through too many tests and need results.
