The term usually refers to a lack of oxygen in the cells of the side of the left ventricle (which is inferior/below and lateral/on-the-side of a standard electrocardiogram test. The lack of oxygen on the cellular level (also referred to as ischemia) is usually due to disrupted circulation to the heart muscle (in this case the left ventricular cardiac muscle). This is often due to a clot in the cardiac arteries which supply heart tissue with oxygenated blood. In short 'inferolateral ischemia' is a heart attack in the left ventricle.

What is intestinal ischemia?

Like your other organs, your digestive system needs a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood to function properly. A diminished blood flow to your small intestine or colon is called intestinal ischemia (is-KE-me-uh). Intestinal ischemia can cause pain and make it difficult for your intestines to do their job. In severe cases, loss of blood flow to the intestines can lead to damaged or dead intestinal tissue, not unlike what happens to the heart during a heart attack. And like a heart attack, intestinal ischemia can be fatal. But you can receive effective treatments for intestinal ischemia. The most critical factor in effectively treating intestinal ischemia is recognizing the early symptoms and getting medical help right away.


The spasm hypothesis is one of three leading hypothesis of DOMS?

True. Proposes that DOMS is caused by ischemia during exercise, resulting in the build up of pain causing substance in muscles. The pain stimulates spasm that create more ischemia contributing to the pain occurring 12 to 48 hours later. Ischemia is localized anemia resulting from mechanical obstruction of the blood supply. Frederick C. Hatfield, PhD


How does exercise treat ischemia?

Exercise, particularly aerobic exercise, is essential for circulation health. It is recommended that the patient exercise for 20 minutes, three times a week.

Is inferolateral ischemia curable?

Ischemia of any type is reversible. If ischemia is prolonged, it can turn to injury or infarction (in the case of the heart) and cell death, at which time it is not reversible or curable. There are studies with stem cells ongoing to attempt to regrow cardiac cells in heart attack scars, however, so this may not be a permanent condition forever.
