What Is A Perfusion Defect On A Cardiac Stress Test? - Cardiology Community
What Is A Perfusion Defect On A Cardiac Stress Test? Have you ever wondered what a perfusion defect is and why it matters in heart health? In this informative video, we'll explain everything you need to know about perfusion defects seen during cardiac stress tests. We'll start by defining what a perfusion defect is and how it appears on imaging tests like nuclear stress tests or cardiac MRI. You'll learn how these defects indicate areas where blood flow to the heart muscle is impaired, especially during physical activity. We'll discuss the difference between reversible and fixed perfusion defects, and what each type suggests about heart function and potential underlying issues. Understanding these differences can help determine whether a patient has narrowed or blocked arteries, scar tissue, or other heart conditions. We'll also cover how doctors interpret these findings to decide on further tests or treatments, such as angiography, angioplasty, or bypass surgery. Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or medical professional, understanding perfusion defects can improve your knowledge of heart health and disease management.
