What is a mild reversible perfusion defect?

It was thought I had a heart attack I had a myocardial perfusion scan?

  • The results showed no evidence of any reversible perfusion defect, which is suggestive of a low probability of her symptoms being caused by coronary artery disease. The patient should be reassured. My pain started in my chest it went round my left shoulder into my left side of my neck and jaw I felt sweaty and very sick, I have been given angina tablets and I feel like a new women breathing better and walking my dogs without getting breathless, If I didn't have a heart attack will my angina tablets be stopped or was this a test just for coronary thrombosis as that's what my father died of thank you Jackie

  • Answer:

    Well, it certainly could have been a clot that cleared of its own accord. I'd expect you would have an angiogram to check your coronary arteries. If that's good, I'd want to talk to a hematologist and be checked for clotting disorders.

watch the high fat food, cheese, eggs and red meat.

The test results only explain what you don't have. It seems like you still have some things to discuss with your doctor - what is the explanation for the symptoms you had and what is the treatment? You might also ask about taking aspirin daily to reduce the chance of clotting. Its a mystery what actually happened. Nerves and blood vessels can get compressed by muscle spasms near the clavicle and cause symptoms that mimic angina, but this situation would not likely improve by taking medicines used for treating angina.
