Question 1

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 2

what is anterior wall ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Heart: This is likely a finding on a cardiac stress test describing diminished or slowed blood flow to the anterior portion of the wall of the left ventricle of the heart. Needs to be placed in context with the patient's other test findings as to its significance.

Question 3

what is anteroseptal wall ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Idirect evidence: Stress tests using a nuclear tracer may show a defect on the scan if a blockage is present. An anteroseptal defect is one that implicates the left anterior descending artery. Stress tests are a screening test and can have a 15% false positive rate.

Question 4

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 5

what is reversible ischemia of the anterior lateral wall?

Accepted Answer

Reversible ischemia: It is ischemia not present at rest but produced by exercise or other demand for increased blood flow through the arteries to the anterior lateral wall of the left ventricle.

Question 6

what does "reversible ischemia of the anterior lateral wall" mean?

Accepted Answer

Ischemia: This term is a desciption of the fact that the front and left sides of the left ventricle are not getting enough blood during stress situations. The left ventricle is the main part of the heart. The term reversible means that during stress this part of the heart does not get enough blood and it implies that the artery going to that part of the heart has a blockage.

Question 7

a person diagnosed an anterior wall ischemia is still fit to work?

Accepted Answer

All depends: on type of work.  As well as the severity of the disease.   Talk to your doctor.  May be treated with medication or they may need to do more treatments.

Question 8

i was diagnosed with anterior wall ischemia. am i still fit to work?

Accepted Answer

Talk to: yout doctor.  May be treated with medication.  Or you may need further treatment.  Before returning to work discuss with you doctor to be safe

Question 9

can ischemia of the lateral wall be treated successfully? what is the rate?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If an angiogram demonstrates a compatible lesion that is amenable to angioplasty (and stenting), it can be treated with complete success.

Question 10

i have told that i have induced ischemia in the anteroseptal wall , what dose she means?

Accepted Answer

Ischemia: This is usually used to describe results of a stress test which means that  with certain provocation (exercise or chemical) you have ischemia ( lack of blood flow ) to a part of the heart called the anteroseptal wall usually served by the left anterior descending artery.
