Dear patient your stress echo is suggestive of compromised cardiac function.EF 42% is low against normal of 60%.also no augmentation of ventricular systolic function is not a good news.Hypokinesis of septum is suggestive of decreased blood flow to that area which can lead to a heart attack anytime. So in my opinion dear patient your should seek a cardiology opinion as early as possible.
You can ask for your further queries anytime.
