How can the heart muscles be affected if the coronary artery is blocked?
If a coronary artery is blocked, the heart muscles will not get enough oxygen. This condition is known as ischemia. If the condition continues, the ischemia may lead to infarction, or death of tissue due to lack of oxygen.
What surgeries treat angina associated with ischemia?
Surgical procedures include percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
What kinds of health problems can be caused by blockages in coronary arteries?
Myocardial ischemia or infarction. (Heart attack)
How do you describe myocardial ischemia?
Myocardial ischemia is a coronary artery disease during which the heart tissue is slowly or suddenly starved of oxygen and other nutrients. Eventually, the affected heart tissue will die.
With allopathic treatment for ischemia which surgeries are performed?
Surgical procedures include percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, coronary artery bypass graft surgery and experimental procedures; atherectomy; laser angioplasty; stent implants.
Describe percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty treatment for ischemia?
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty is a nonsurgical procedure in which a catheter tipped with a balloon is threaded from a blood vessel in the thigh into the blocked artery to open the artery.
What is the meaning of negative for reversible myocardial ischemia?
A proof that a particular problem cannot be solved, or irreversible, ischemia mean that Inadequate blood supply (circulation) to a local area due to blockage of the blood vessels to the area.
How is heredity a risk factor for ischemia?
People whose parents have coronary artery disease are more likely to develop it. African-Americans also are at higher risk.
What to call cutting off circulation to foot?
Ischemia is the medical term meaning restricting blood flow to a body part.
What are the diagnostic tests for myocardial ischemia?
Diagnostic tests include: resting, exercise, or ambulatory electrocardiograms; scintigraphic studies; echocardiography; coronary angiography; and rarely positron emission tomography.
What are the risk factors for ischemia?
Men who are 45 years of age and older and women who are 55 years of age and older are considered to be at risk. Risk also increases with age.
Inferior wall ischemia?
An inferior wall mycardial infarction is a heart attack involving the inferior portion of the left ventricle, and in many cases the right ventricle. This is caused by occlusion of the right coronary artery. This can also indicate ischemia (poor oxygenation) of the AV node and bundle of HIS, as these structures are also supplied by the right coronary. An inferior wall MI can be seen in the inferior leads II, III, and AVF.
