Question 1

my myocardial perfusion study shows there is a large, fixed apical, inferoseptal, anteroseptal, and inferoseptal defect. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

: Probably you have had a myocardial infarction (heart attack), apparently a large one. Your doctor is the one to discuss this, not a distant online forum. Good luck.

Question 2

what does old antero-septal myocardial infarction mean?

Accepted Answer

Heart attack: I am assuming this is a finding on ECG that you are describing. It means that there is findings compatible with a prior heart attack in the front part of the heart.

Question 3

can i use herbalife niteworks for patient with acute anteroseptal wall myocardial infarction?

Accepted Answer

Safety is unknown: Herbalife has many products, and since they are not medications approved by the fda, herbalife products are probably not tested for interactions and side effects like real medicines are. So, that means nobody really knows what side effects there are. If an herbalife user hears of some interaction or thinks she is getting a side effect, she can visit her primary care doctor.

Question 4

echo1.old myocardial infraction (inferior+posterior+antero septal+apical)
2.severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction. what medicine you prefer?

Accepted Answer

A few: Assuming no medication side effects and normal vital signs in addition to no comorbidities that may play into this- daily aspirin, a beta blocker, statin and often an ace inhibitor. Each patient may need different things based on what else is going on. Have a conversation with your doc about it

Question 5

why is myocardial tissue different from other tissues?

Accepted Answer

Myocardium: The heart muscle is striated muscle which contracts on its own. It's the only muscle that contracts on its own.

Question 6

what is myocardial dysfunction?

Accepted Answer

Heart muscle problem: This just refers to abnormal function of the heart muscle whether it be due to failure of the heart to pump well (systolic dysfunction) or to relax well (diastolic dysfunction.).

Question 7

how serious is myocardial ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Maybe very serious: Ischemia means an area of the heart is not getting enough blood usually because of a blockage in an artery. The severity depends on whether it is a major artery or not.

Question 8

what is the significance of myocardial ischemia?

Accepted Answer

See below.: Myocardial ischemia refers to decreased blood supply and oxygen to the heart muscle. This usually is the result of partial blockage of blood flow due to plaque build up or increased demand for flow such as exercise. It can also be due to spasm of the artery often due to cigarette smoking which results in decreased blood flow. Ischemia often presents as chest discomfort but it can be asymptomatic.

Question 9

how is myocardial ischemia-reperfusion treated?

Accepted Answer

: The treatment is to increase blood flow to heart are where the ischemia is. Surgery, angioplasty and diet would be options. Look up Ornish diet and regression by diet.

Question 10
