Questions from Nuclear Stress Test Result

My friendly cardiologist had be to get a nuclear stress test and then mailed me the written report, somehow expecting me to figure out what it means. Hopefully a heart doctor.or cardiologist can help.

What is right ventricle grossly normal? Is that a concern?

What is resting ECG revealed non specific ST-T wave changes? Is that a concern?

What is rare PVC's noted during recovery? Is that a concern?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Some members can provide an insight and perspective to your question but the information provided is sketchy.

Quote:What is right ventricle grossly normal? Is that a concern?

>>>>>"grossly normal" means that there are no obvious abnormalities. Which indicates that the various parts "walls" are contracting in a uniform fashion as related to your right ventrical. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, and according to your report a good flow of unoxygenated blood flows to the lungs so there is no problem from that perspective.

Q. What is resting ECG revealed non specific ST-T wave changes? Is that a concern?

>>>>Non-specific requires additional tests to be conclusive of any heart abnormality and may not be a heart condition. The term, nonspecific ST-T wave abnormalities, is frequently used when the clinical data are not available to correlate with the ECG findings. The doctor will do an evaluation with other tests and symptoms, etc. to determine if the ECG changes are unimportant!

PVCs after exercise it is not considered abnormal for many individuals. There can be excessive adrenaline from the exercise and in recovery the can boost PVC's.  Your doctor may want to do more testing as some of the data presented is inconclusive.

Hope this helps, and thanks for sharing.  If you have any followup questions or comments you are welcome to respond.  Take care.

Your doctor owes you an explanation, set up an appointment to go over the results. Having said that, there is nothing bad on your post, all pretty normal stuff and nothing I would worry about.

See your doctor for a better explanation, I am not a doctor and yours owes you an explanation.
