What Does This Stress Test Report Indicate?

I was told today after a stress test echo that not enough blood is reaching the bottom of my heart. I have a TBI so the test was done by an injection to increase my heart rate. This basically is what I can remember because of the TBI. What does it mean and does it matter what part of the heart is not getting enough blood? I tried and cant find it by trying to look it up on the web without confusion and frustration which doesn t take a lot. I do have trouble understanding things but if keep in mind that I take things very literal it is easier. I am having a pet scan next. Ok thanks!

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After going through the medical details provided by you I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that stress echocardiography is performed to evaluate coronary artery disease especially in people with limited physical activity or who are bound to perform treadmill test. If your stress test is seeing sufficient amount of blood is not being delivered to the core heart muscles that means heart arteries are being atherosclerosed. So, it is recommended for you to consult a cardiologist and get an angiography done as a further evaluation and to decide line of treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Bhanu Partap
