A member asked:

Does moderate ischemia in the apical mid anterior wall mean blockage in the lad?

Dr. Payam Mehranpour answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Cardiology

Likely: The anterior and apical regions are typically supplied by the LAD and ischemia in these territories is usually due to significant tightening or blockage of the artery.
