Blood pressure & ventricular & suptraventricular ectopy
just would like an understanding of statements as follows:
no definitive ischemic changes were seen however, the study at best is suspicious.
correlation with the nuclear portion of the study is strongly recommended...(I had that
3 times with the stress test, so don't know why this statement was made)
72 beats per minute predicted target heart rate 129/152 beats per minute...

Predicted target heart rate is usually the parameter from a calculation that involves the age of the individual less a percentage of 10% or so. The stress test procedure should not exceed the target rate, but 72 beats per minute doesn't have much meaning unless the test was discontinued at that time?!
The test should reveal ischemia (lack of blood/oxygen) if and when the heart reaches the target beats per minute. The report indicates there was no ischema noted, and 72 bpm. Without more information and based on your posted information, I would conclude the test was incomplete but there is a suspicion of vessel occlusion!
