what is anteroseptal wall ischemia?

Question

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

Answer 1

Idirect evidence: Stress tests using a nuclear tracer may show a defect on the scan if a blockage is present. An anteroseptal defect is one that implicates the left anterior descending artery. Stress tests are a screening test and can have a 15% false positive rate.

Answer 2

Unhappy heart: The anterior, posterior or inferior all come together at the tip-apex. Septal and usually the -tip of the heart is not getting adequate coronary blood flow. Usually left anterior descending artery blockage. Septal is the inner wall of muscle between the ventricles.

Answer 3

Depends: It depends on how severe it is and which organ is ischemic. For instance it would be more serious to have ischemia to the heart or brain than to your foot.

Answer 4

Depends on: The severity of the ischemia, and also the cause. Ischemia from an obstruction is more dangerous than ischemia from vasospastic disease. You really need to discuss this with your doctor.

Answer 5

Definition: ischemia: The term ischemia generally suggests a reduction of the blood supply to a given area of the body such that the functionality of that part of the body is impaired. Could be from a blockage in an artery delivering blood to that part of the body, or could be from a general reduction in blood supply to deliver to that part of the body. Could cause heart attack, stroke, so could be risky, yes.

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

Test positive: Stress testing is a functional cardiac test for coronary disease treadmill, dipyridamole, or other stressors are used to elevate heart rate and oxygen need. If ekg or echo or nuclear changes are identified that signifies stress ischemia and a positive test. That usually means a heart catheterization is coming.

Answer 8

Blocked artery maybe: I'm assuming that this refers to the result of a stress test in answering this question. Ischemia means that part of the heart is not getting sufficient blood flow. The mildly positive part of the result suggests that the interpreting doctor thought that either the area of the heart involved is small, or the degree of abnormality seen on the test was small. This could be due to a narrowed artery.

Answer 9

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.

Answer 10

Coronary artery Ds: Ischemia means diminished blood supply, so in the case of coronary ischemia, decreased blood supply to the heart. While mild ischemia is used to quantify the degree or severity of blood flow diminution, any degree of ischemia signifies the presence of coronary artery disease.

Answer 11

Poor perfusion: Ischemia is caused by low or inadequate blood flow and oxygen delivery to a tissue: heart attack stroke amputation renal failure are sequellae of ischemia needs workup and treatment!

Answer 12

Blocked Coronary: Anteroseptal ischemia sounds like a report from a stress test performed with imaging. This is a noninvasive tests which suggests blockage of the left anterior descending coronary artery.

Answer 13

Unhappy heart: The anterior wall is the front septum is the wall between ventricles that part of the heart is not getting adequate coronary blood flow. Usually left anterior descending artery blockage.

Answer 14

Chest pain, others: Presumably you are asking about cardiac ischemia. The most common symptoms are chest/upper abdominal/neck/arm pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, sweating, palpitations, nausea and/or vomiting, fainting. These symptoms may occur in any combination or independently.

Answer 15

Depends: Which part of the body? Heart heart attack brain stroke kidney failure.
