Question 1

hello doctor, recently i(boy,26)did a ett test where, in conclusion it said " ett is negative for provocable myocardial ischaemia". what does it mean ?

Accepted Answer

Not your heart: It means that is not likely that your heart is causing your symptoms, I suspect you have had chest pain.

Question 2

recently during my annual health checkup i have gone tmt test , the result is "test is positive for provocable myocardial ischaemia".what this mean.

Accepted Answer

Abnormal stress: Test.  Discuss with your physician ...May need a repeat with imaging as ekg only has higher false positive rate.

Question 3

recently  i have gone tmt test , the result is "test is positive for provocable myocardial ischaemia" pl. advise what i should do now.?

Accepted Answer

Heart cath.?: Depends on why you had the stress test in the first place, for chest pain? If so, and the test was positive, you need a cardiac cath. And possibly a stent. If you had no symptoms, you might repeat the stress test with a nuclear tracer or echocardiogram.

Question 4

what mean , mild reversible myocardial ischaemia involving basal segments of inferior and inferolateral walls ?

Accepted Answer

It means: potentially serious coronary artery disease that should be followed closely by your cardiologist.

Question 5

can you suggest an exercise inducible myocardial ischaemia?

Accepted Answer

Question unclear: I assume you're asking for an exercise that AVOIDs inducible myocardial ischemia? Measure your heart rate and keep it below YOUR demonstrated ischemic threshold.  If you don't know your I.T., it can be determined on a treadmill stress test -ask your doc.

Question 6

i have "ecg evidence of exercise inducible myocardial ischaemia". so is this very serious problem?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It suggests that your exercise is causing a strain on your heart. Many professional athletes who undergo extensive and vigorous exercise often damage their hearts.

Question 7

mild reversible myocardial ischaemia involving basal segments of inferior and inferolateral walls its dangerous conclusion of stress test or good ?

Accepted Answer

It is not: normal, reversible ischemia means that there are areas of your heart that do not get enough blood flow under stress, but do get enough flow at rest. You need to see a cardiologist for further evaluation/treatment.

Question 8

will a 3 lead single channel ecg 24hr holter be able to show myocardial ischaemia in someone who gets angina?

Accepted Answer

Possible: if the leads are placed in the correct position but a NEGATIVE STUDY does NOT exclude cardiac ischemia completely.  It's certainly worth the study however.

Dr Z 
BTW an EXERCISE test may be the most reliable way to proceed

Question 9

what does myocardial ischemia means?

Accepted Answer

Cardiac: Myocardial ischemia is what causes chest pain or angina. This occurs when there is plaque that blocks the arteris and reduces flow to the heart muscle.

Question 10

what does provokable myocardial ischemia mean?

Accepted Answer

Activity or emotion: The heart may have adequate blood flow to  function normally at rest or lower levels of activity.   However when you increase the nutrition needs of the heart as with exercise or strong emotions the blood flow is insufficient due to blockages and provokes ischemia which can be detected by various forms of stress test.  Chest pain, shortness of breath & fatigue are the common symptoms of ischemia.
