What is reversible ischemia of the anterior lateral wall?

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.

Partial blockage: "Reversible ischemia of the anterior lateral wall" likely came from a nuclear stress test report. It suggests that part of the heart does not get enough oxygen when stressed (example: during exercise), but does get enough oxygen when at rest. This can happen if there is a partial blockage of an artery.Symptom may be chest pressure or pain when walking. Follow-up with the doctor is very important.
