What is fixed apical defect most likely attenuation artifact?
A fixed apical defect on a nuclear medicine myocardial perfusion scan is most likely due to an attenuation artifact caused by breast tissue, diaphragm, or body habitus. This artifact decreases the amount of radiation reaching the camera, resulting in a false defect in the apical region of the heart.
What is the ICD-9 code for Apical defect?
What is the icd code for apical defect
What is Perfusional defect seen in section 4b of liver?
A perfusion defect means blood is not flowing normally in that section.
What does a fixed defect on a radionoclide imaging test?
a prior myocardial infarction
What is reversible inferolateral defect?
A reversible inferolateral defect seen on a myocardial perfusion imaging scan typically indicates reduced blood flow to the inferior and lateral walls of the heart during stress, but this impairment is reversible with rest. It suggests the presence of ischemia in those regions and may indicate potential underlying coronary artery disease. Follow-up testing and evaluation by a healthcare provider is usually recommended to further assess the significance of this finding.
What is myocardial bridging?
Myocardial bridging is when a blood vessel that supposed to lie on top of the heart muscle instead goes through the muscle. It's a birth defect that causes chest pain in some people.
What is fixed apical defect?
A fixed apical defect is a type of heart condition where there is a permanent damage or scar tissue in the apex (tip) of the heart. This can result from a previous heart attack or other cardiac events, leading to compromised function in that area of the heart. Treatment and management typically involve medications, lifestyle changes, and sometimes procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery.
What heart diseases increase the chances that a patient will need a pacemaker?
A history of myocardial infarction (heart attack), congenital defect, or cardiac transplant also increases the likelihood of pacemaker implant.
What does moderate ventral defect on the sac and most pronounced centrally which abuts the central aspect of the cord and likely flattens the ventral aspect of the cord?
Sounds to me like a presentation of a tethered cord, which is often due to spina bifida or chiari defect.
Can you name some of the heart diseases?
MI - Myocardial Infraction CHF - Cardiac heart failure ASD - Atrial septal Defect VSD - Ventral septal defect
What is inferior wall defect?
An inferior wall defect refers to a specific type of electrical conduction abnormality in the heart, often identified on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It typically indicates issues in the inferior portion of the heart, commonly associated with ischemia or damage to the heart muscle, particularly involving the right coronary artery. This defect can manifest as ST-segment elevation or depression, signaling potential heart conditions such as a myocardial infarction. Diagnosis and management usually involve further cardiac evaluation and treatment to address the underlying causes.
What is the difference between Defect and Defective?
A defective product has a defect: "My phone is defective" "What defect does it have?" "The defect is that the screen is broken" To defect can also mean to switch sides e.g. from an army or a political party
