A member asked:
What is the significance of apical ischemia?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Location& blood flow: It depends. S the ischemia reverisble or irreversible? Was it detected on a nuclear stress test? Assume it's reversible as seen in a nuclear stress test.Apical refers to the location - at the apex.As for significance, along with other indications, i might suggest a clinical correlation via an angiogram or ccta. The significance could not be determined without a cath or cct.

Unhappy heart: The anterior, posterior or inferior all come together at the tip-apex. Apical-tip of the heart is not getting adequate coronary blood flow. Usually left anterior descending artery blockage.
