Question 1

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 2

apical lateral wall ischemia causes what?

Accepted Answer

ischemia: Ischemia of any part of the myocardium can be associated with angina, arrhythmia, ventricular dysfunction and infarction.

Question 3

if you are diagnosed with  lateral wall ischemia does that mean you should be in the icu?

Accepted Answer

Ischemia: No. Lateral wall ischemia means that the left part of the left ventricle is not getting enough blood. Unless otherwise specified, it suggests that there is a blockage, usually chronic, of the circumflex artery. Most such individuals should not be in the icu. If this is reversible ischemia, and the area of ischemia is large, further studies may be needed to evaluate the situation further.

Question 4

my father have lateral wall ischemia. should he be treated in the icu?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If he has no symptoms, he should be at home.

Question 5

what do you suggest if my dad have lateral wall ischemia should he go in the icu?

Accepted Answer

No: That is certainly not a reason to go to the ICU.  His treatment depends on many parameters: symptoms, change in status, overall health, how the ischemia was diagnosed,associated findings - just to name a few.  I would advise him to delay his trip to Mt. Everest and discuss his results with his doctor for a comprehensive treatment plan. Doctors treat people, not test results.

Question 6

electrocardiographic diagnosis is: rbbb incomplete, lateral wall ischemia. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Not much.: If you are a 19 y/o female without signs or symptoms of heart disease and you can exercise then i would suggest that their is a small delay in the electrical signal traveeling through the right bundle branch of your heart's electrical system.  The part about lateral ischemia is probably artifact due to lead placement coupled with a normal age related variant. Nothing to worry about.

Question 7

the result of my ecg  lateral wall ischemia occ. pvc anterior septal  infarct. whats is that mean? is that serious?

Accepted Answer

Concerning: How old are you? You need an echocardiography to see your heart or a stress test with imaging (nuclear stress test) for further evaluation. Pl get to see a cardiologist through your family doc.

Question 8

hi doctors, can you tell me what is reversible ischemia of the anter lateral wall?

Accepted Answer

Scintographic findin: It's a description, typically from a perfusion scan - generally with a stress test - suggesting a blockage that affects the front/side wall of the left ventricle such that circulation is normal at rest but relatively insufficient with exercise.

Question 9

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 10

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.
