Question 1

what is an inferior myocardial infarction from?

Accepted Answer

Many poss causes: An inferior mi refers to a heart attack on the inferior wall of the heart muscle.  Almost all heart attacks are the result of fatty deposits on the inside of arteries that break open and cause clotting which will blocks the artery (and the blood from flowing to the part of the heart the artery feeds).  Family history, fatty diet, smoking, high blood pressure all contribute to this process.

Question 2

possible inferior myocardial infarction probably old. possible abnormal ecg...does this mean i had an attack? i am diabetic and workout daily.

Accepted Answer

Family practice : If you have any cardiac risk factors ie smoking hx, hypertension , diabetes, high cholesterol, family hx for heart dz, along with having chest pain it may mean something should be investigated. However you are young and sometimes ekg's read very sensitive results. Static or movements are picked up as abnormal readings. Each ekg needs to be interpretated by a physician. Discuss with your dr.

Question 3

ekg prior to surgery shows abnormal - inferior myocardial infarction, probably old.  one i had in late july was normal.  what had happened since then?

Accepted Answer

MI. ?: You may have had a silent heart attack but I would rely on the clinical opinion of your doctor. Good Luck

Question 4

what is left ventricular hypertrophy with inferior myocardial infarction in a 15 yo boy?

Accepted Answer

Wrong diagnosis? : Is 15 yo healthy? Why was he evaluated? Previous cardiac history?  Autoimmune disorder? Kawasaki disease? Sickle cell disease? Diabetes or cancer? If not, then it sounds like an adult cardiologist misread a child's ekg. Often an adolescent's ekg will look like left ventricular hypertrophy because of the strength of the electrical impulse and thinness of the chest wall compared to an adult.

Question 5

ekg say flat t waves in v4v5v6.check av block of higher degree. absolute arrhythmia, atrial flutter.inferior myocardial infarction, probably old, normal?

Accepted Answer

It is hard to : Say based on your description, but it sounds abnormal of course, you should see if there is a clinical correlation. Review it with your doctor and compare it with old ekgs. This will help determine the next best step.

Question 6

im 42 yro male w bradycardia, orthostatic hypotension & autonomous dys, recently 2 ecgs showed possible inferior myocardial infarction... & intraventricular conduction delay. currently take 10mg midodrine and 0.1 fludrocortisone. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

EKG findings: Possible inferior wall myocardial infarction means that there are Q waves in the inferior leads(2,3 and AVF) that are not definitely pathologic and may simply be positional. In the old days we did a vectorcardiogram to distinguish, but now an echocardiogram often helps to distinguish. Intraventricular conduction delay means the QRS duration exceeds 0.10 and is nonspecific. A cardiologist can advis

Question 7

could you tell me what are early signs or symptoms of myocardial infarction?

Accepted Answer

Chest pain ,dyspnea: The chest pain may be mild and be confused with gas gerd, or muscular. However coronary pain is usually progressively persistent..

7. Sudden fatigue

Question 10

what are early signs or symptoms of myocardial infarction? rapid respiration and heart rate?

Accepted Answer

Variable: These may include:  pain, pressure or a tightness in the chest with or without radiation to arm or jaw. Others include shortness of breath, sweats, fatigue, nausea and or vomiting, fast heart rate . Anxiety and a feeling of impending doom to list a few.
