The Apical Anteroseptal wall is a thin wall and is a kinetic. This wall is thicken mildly during the process of systole.
Anterior Wall Ischemia: [blockage in the Left Anterior Descending Artery]
prscribe drugs atenolol to lower high blood pressure if hypertensive, advise to do more exercise. more walking exercise ,, check the cholesterol level
Front middle wall of the heart not moving too well. Might lead to a mild heart attack.
just found out i have had a anterosptal myo. inf. , flat t waves in aVL V3 V4 V5 V6, with reduced R in I V3........they say it's old and small. i don't know what to think. i am 42 female
Ischemia means a reduced blood supply to an organ or body part.Antero- refers to the anterior, or front side of something.-lateral means to the side or the outside of something.So to put it all together Anterolateral Ischemiameans that there is or was a reduction of blood flow to the front outside part (of an organ).This is often a term used to describe findings after chest pain or a heart attack. In that case it would mean that the area of the heart on the front side and just to the outside (either right or left) of a line drawn down the middle of the heart has had a reduction in blood supply with some damage to the heart muscle tissue (either temporary or permanent).The heart muscle is called Myocardial tissue.Myo- is musclecardio- refers to heart.So, if this is describing reduction in blood supply to the outside front part of the heart muscle... that would be called Anterolateral Myocardial Ischemia.
The term is derived from the Greek tachy (fast) and cardia (heart) and is usually defined as a heart rate faster then 100 beats per minute.Its significance is usually mainly as a sign that something else may be wrong and is only rarely dangerous in and of itself. Times when it can be dangerous include when the ventricles are contracting so fast that they do not have time to fill and pump effectively, and when the resulting increased oxygen demand causes some parts of the heart to not get enough oxygen, resulting in injury to the muscle tissue.The commonly accepted definition of tachycardia as being above 100 beats per minute was selected by cardiologists in order to make it easier and faster for them to label EKG's in the days before computers calculated the heart rate for them, rather than being based on any study of "normals". Based on modern studies the normal upper limit for resting heart rate is probably closer to 90."Relative tachycardia" is when the heart rate is too high considering some circumstance.
