Question 1

what is the significance of anterolateral ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Location: Anterolateral is just the description of the location - in front and to the side - where ischemia is seen in a myocardial perfusion scan.  The ischemia - lack of blood flow and therefore oxygen to part of the heart is what is significant!  anytime there is insufficient or no blood flow to part of the heart it is critical to restore this flow as soon as possible.

Question 2

st deviation and moderate t-wave abnormality, consider anterolateral ischemia  abnormal ecg. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

EKG CHANGES: EKG changes in setting of symptoms and risk factors could be an indicator of heart issues. It is prueudent that this be evaluated ny the physician so further evaluation can be undertaken. Please do not delay.

Question 3

st deviation and moderate t-wave abnormality, consider anterolateral ischemia  abnormal ecg taken at er. i had stomach flu 
should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Electrocardiogram: EKG changes in the setting of sysmptoms and risk factor might be a marker of underlying heart problem as ischemia. This hould be evaluated further asap.

Question 4

what does "abnormal anterolateral wall ischemia" mean? also indicated is v2-v6 depression... this is all very technical... can you explain please?

Accepted Answer

Heart disease: In short, the blood vessels in your heart are diseased and less than required blood is getting to the muscle of the heart. I trust that you are under the care of a doctor. Please be compliant with the instructions of your doctor.
Wish you good health.

Question 5

my mother's report says "mild provocable ischemia noted in apico-anterolateral and mid-anterolateral segment of left ventricle." what does this mean ?

Accepted Answer

Provocable ischemia: means induced poor or lack of blood flow to a particular organ. In this case, a particular area of the heart. Usually occurs when the coronary arteries, the arteries that feed the heart, are clogged or compressed. Typically worsens with exertion, when the arteries are clogged. Reduction in cholesterol &amp; BP by eating healthier helps as well as if serious disease, stent placement to keep flow going

Question 6

what is ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Lack of blood flow: Ischemia is a lack of blood flow so that that the organ or extremity is not recieving an adequate amount of oxygen.

Question 7

how risky is ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on how severe it is and which organ is ischemic. For instance it would be more serious to have ischemia to the heart or brain than to your foot.

Question 8

what is inferior ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Inferior WALL??: Could this be inferior wall ischemia?  If so, this refers to the inferior wall of the heart, i.e. Location (bottom) of the ischemia.  Ischemia indicates a lack of blood and therefore oxygen & nutrients to any part of the body, in this case the bottom of the heart.

Question 9

what is interval ischemia?

Accepted Answer

: With the limitations of having no clinical context and words being taken out of a report would read as ischemia or lack of blood supply that has developed over a time interval, most commonly seen in evolving strokes.

Question 10

what is reversible ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Poor blood flow: When arteries are narrowed, not enough oxygen gets to the tissue.
This is worse when exercising a muscle ( or heart muscle), becuause its oxygen requirement are increased. At  rest it might not be as much of an issue , because oxygen requirements are less.
