Haven't had a heart attack that I know of.
reversible ischemia indicates some vessel blckage that is located in the area described (inferior wall). Perfusion defect is induced ischemia observed with the injected agent, but partially reversible...did you have a heart attack? Need more information.
Really,he didn't say anything other than due to me being a smoker,overweight(probably 40 pounds),and my family history I am at risk but to disregard the doctor who read my results and formed his diagnosis from my nuclear stress test.I am 42 years old.
I actually have a copy of the report of the findings and diagnosis.At the bottom where it says IMPRESSION it reads "Inferior wall ischemia.Partially reversible anterior wall perfusion defect".

Frankly, it is not very professional for a doctor to disrespect another doctor (even if true) and indicates poor judgement and undermines a patient's confidence in the medical community. What did the current heart doctor say about your symptoms? Unfortunately, you may want to get a third opinion.
