Likely anterior: Is this the result of a nuclear stress test? If so, and if read by a reputable cardiologist, it means you may have a blockage in the artery that feeds the front (anterior) part of your left ventricle. If you have exertional or non-exertional (with or without activity) chest pain or shortness of breath, you will need a different imaging modality, like angiogram or ct angiogram for further analysis.

Arterial blockage.: Ischemia in areas of the heart, as you have related, infers that the arteries that feed these parts of the heart are narrowed such that blood flow through them reduces with exertion. It means these areas of the heart are vulnerable and further testing is needed and intervention may be necessary.
