Question 1

wwhat is peri -infarct ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Lack of blood flow.: "Ischemia" means a relative lack of blood flow (i.e., less blood flow than expected or less flow than noted on a prior scan).
Peri-infarct means around the area of cell death (infarction).
Upload the report &amp; images on HealthTap Prime to discuss in more detail. But the basic gist is that around the area of death, there is an area of less blood flow than there should be.

Question 2

results of a stress test it came back with a v small apical infarction with some peri-infarct ischemia noted what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Question? Consult!: These little boxes are not good for answering specific patient case problems.  Consider a cardiology consultation here on HealthTap.   The kind of consult where you ask for help within the next 24 hours works particularly well for a complex case because it enables emailing back and forth with the details.

Question 3

plz translate:  there is a large inferior perfusion abnormality that is fixed in the proximal to distal inferior & inferolateral walls with some reversibility in the proximal to mid inferoseptal walls concerning for infarct with peri-infarct ischemia?

Accepted Answer

: Means there is a segment of your heart (the inferior wall and the far left wall) that is not receiving sufficient blood supply. Generally this needs correction promptly to limit or prevent irreversible damage to the heart muscle

Question 4

what is the difference between a myocardial infarct, ischemia and angina?

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.   An intact occurs when the artery is completely blocked and the muscle dies. Angina is the pain felt when ischemia occurs.

Question 5

always had abnormal ecg due to inverted twaves last ecg said st & twave abnormality, consider anterior ischemia cant rule out inferior infarct. worry?

Accepted Answer

Depends: You list "stress echocardiography" - was this normal? It's a much more accurate test than just an ordinary, resting EKG.  If your stress echo was normal, forget the EKG but remember to always warn future doctors that you have a "normal funky-looking  EKG" so they don't worry.

Question 6

had ecg doctor says it's normal but i noticed it read inferior infarct and no acute ischemia?what does this mean?should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

The EKG computers: are tilted to analyze for abnormality rather than normalcy. The Computer probably picked up some subtle  or insignificant change that is not clinically relevant and indicated it to make the doctor aware. His/her interpretation supersedes anything the computer says. If he said normal than that is what it is.

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

39 yr old male weightlifter. hypertension palps. ekg says old antero septal infarct. consider inferior ischemia. i don't believe it. no pain w exercise?

Accepted Answer

Artifact: It is likely that with a thick heart or LVH that the ekg shows those findings. Check with your doctor and an echocardiogram maybe helpful in confirming or refuting findings.

Question 9

what is the difference between infarction and ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Stage of disease: In infarction when blood supply completely cut off the tissue dies as in heat attack with damage to heart muscle , con not be reversed , in ischemia blood supply diminishes  ( reduced )  could be reversed no damage yet , this the stage heart attacks could be preventable by proper treatment (s)  and intervention. Same with any other organ

Question 10

what are the differences between myocardial infarction and myocardial ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Ischemia: Ischemia is a term for tissue not getting enough oxygen(almost the same as not enough blood supply). Infarction is the end result of too much ischemia, it means death of the tissue. In other words infarction is the result of severe prolonged ischemia.
