*Update*
Cardiac Stress test (with iso tagging) results came back:
SCAN FINDINGS: Post exercise images revealed a "hot spot" in the apex. Tracer uptake is otherwise uniform except for minimally reduced tracer uptake in the inferior wall. Tracer uptake is more uniform at rest. Global left ventricular systolic function is normal with the ejection fraction of 76%. Wall motion is normal.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Very minimal and questionable mild reversible defect which may represent
ischemia. This is an equivocal finding in view of "hot spot" in the apex.
2. Preserved left ventricular systolic function at rest.
So from this I infer I may have a narrowing or partial blockage in one of the arteries of my heart. Good to catch that now rather than later when it could be worse.
