Question 1

father had cabg 4 yrs bfr his age now 60 yrs. al test normal lvef 67% tmt result tmt borderline positive for induced ischemia , serious or wat to do?

Accepted Answer

Cardiology eval: Need to go to a cardiologist and possibly get a cardiac cath done under fluoro to see patency of coronary arteries, flow  and blood distribution, etc. to get all the answers you seek...

Question 2

if my test was positive for stress induced ischemia in the anteroseptal wall, what does that mean? have i ever had an heart attack before?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: You need confirmatory testing for this abnormal finding.  A high grade blockage in a heart artery could cause this even if you have not had a heart attack.

Question 3

what do you suggest if my test was positive for stress induced ischemia in the anteroseptal wall , what that means have i every had an heart attack before?

Accepted Answer

Ischemia with stress: Hi. Without seeing the test done or the report, we can't say whether or not you've had a heart attack before. At the least, when you exercise and heart muscle oxygen demand goes up, not enough oxygen gets to the anterior wall and the septum to meet the demand. You need coronary angiography, and may need a stent or a bypass operation; you'll need medical therapy in any event. Ask your cardiologist

Question 4

a 57yr old who had undergone angioplasty 10yrs ago.now treadmill test shows good effort tolerance, but positive for exercise induced ischemia.advice?

Accepted Answer

Needs investigation.: Regardless of this treatment history, exercise-induced ischemia requires a new investigation, especially in someone with known coronary artery disease.  This could be a hint to a new blockage that might require intervention.

Question 5

ett done to check fitness,resting ekg lvl -1.3 peak lvl -0.3, final lvl -0.8 in lead avr, lead v1 rest lvl -0.1,peak lvl -0.4,final lvl -0.4.have irbbb. the ett was stated negative for stress induce ischemia.is resting level in minus ok?

Accepted Answer

: To be considered a valid and complete test, one considers 8 factors: One's age, heart rate achieved, time until treadmill was slowed, blood pressure response, ST depression in all leads (except AVR), slope of the ST segments, symptoms during the test, and heart rhythm during the entire test.  Tables give the predicted max heart rate response, and tell if it was a maximal stress test.

Question 6

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 7

i have told that i have induced ischemia in the anteroseptal wall , what dose she means?

Accepted Answer

Ischemia: This is usually used to describe results of a stress test which means that  with certain provocation (exercise or chemical) you have ischemia ( lack of blood flow ) to a part of the heart called the anteroseptal wall usually served by the left anterior descending artery.

Question 8

what is stress-induced ischemia? how is it treated?

Accepted Answer

Stress ischemia: Under the conditions of physical or emotional stress the more rapid heart rate and higher blood pressure can produce myocardial ischemia. It is treated with nitrates and beta blockers to try and reorder supply and demand. Stress induced peripheral ischemia is treated with peripheral vasodilator medications.

Question 9

what does it mean to be mildly positive to ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Some ischemia: Don't ever hesitate to ask your doctor to explain a term used during your visit!  in general mild ischemia means that there is some documented reduction (inadequate) in the normal flow of blood, i.e. Ischemia.  I don't know what kind of test you had or if you are referring to your heart or some other part of your body.  Without more information i cannot be more specific.

Question 10

result as i mentioned above, ie: mildly positive to ischemia?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: Please be more clear about your question.  If you're referring to an earlier question, please reference it.  If you had a stress test and the results were positive for ischemia, then you need to see a cardiologist for further evaluation, but that is the extent of advice i can give you with the limited insight I have in your problem right now.
