Poor blood flow: Ischemia is when there is less blood flow or delivery of oxygen to tissue than needed. Lateral ischemia means that this is happening to the left sidewall of the pumping chamber of the heart. This is usually related to blockage in the flow of blood in the coronaries, blood vessels that feed the heart muscle.

Several thoughts: Stenosis of the artery to that area anterior is front inferior is bottom lateral is to left of the person in this situation . Ischemia comes from: obstruction clot- plaque rupture/ disruption occasionally, embolism this is of the coronary arteries to, the left lateral part of the heart as you asked it.
