A member asked:
On my recent lexiscan it was found i had sig. ant. apical isch. also had a 100% occluded axillary artery which opened well in surgery. he said all arteries looked clear around heart& upper. does the sig. ant. apical ischemia mean arteries or muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The anterior apical ischemia means the part of the heart (heart muscle) is lack of blood (ischemia) by lexiscan. If that ischemia is fixed it mean the myocardium (heart muscle) is dead (scarring), if the ischemic area is reversible the corresponding vessel (usually the left anterior descending coronary artery or its branch) has blockage.
