Question 1

excercise induced myocardial ischemia strongly positive at 90 percent mhr good excercise tolerance in a jogger no other symptoms what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Ischemia: I would assume this test was done for a reason, you do not mention symptoms. The results are best discussed with the ordering physician who can provide you with options, this needs to be treated, don't ignore it.

Question 2

what are symptoms of ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on the part of the body that is not getting enough blood and oxygen. If it is the heart you could get chest pain. If it's a leg, leg pain. If it's the brain you could get a stroke.

Question 3

what symptoms suggest ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends what part of body is affected: heart= chest pain, heart attack; leg=painful cold leg; brain=stroke; gut=abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea; kidney=high blood pressure.

Question 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

what are the symptoms of microvascular ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Same as macro: Frequently exertion chest pain or shortness of breath.

Question 8

what is  lateral wall ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Lack blood supply: Ischemia refers to lack of blood supply. Lateral ischemia refers to diminished blood supply to the lateral wall of the heart.

Question 9

what does ischemia- lateral lead lvh+ mean ?

Accepted Answer

I assume: You mean your EKG suggest lateral ischemia and LVH(which is short for left ventricular hypertrophy).  Interpreting ischemic changes is difficult without knowing the history behind the EKG, but from what you mention it appears that you have some changes on your EKG that "could" be related to coronary disease.  LVH on EKG suggests that the left side of your heart "could" be thickened.

Question 10

what are common signs and symptoms of ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Depends: That would depend on what organ system is involved in the ischemia. If the brain, for instance, weakness of one side of the body, numbness, visual loss, etc. If the heart, then pain in the chest. Ischemia to the legs would cause pain in the legs at rest or on walking.
