What does inferolateral ischemia mean?
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 the difference between Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction?
LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) is (anatomical) structural condition and status of the heart, while Left Ventricular Dysfunction is disturbance in physiological functions and status of heart.
Will the apical beat be shifted in left ventricular hypertrophy?
Yes, left ventricular hypertrophy will shift the apical beat.
What is effacement of the left lateral recess?
what is effacement of the left lateral recess and severe foraminal stenosis
What is left ventricular perfusion?
Left Ventricular dysfunction-A condition in which the LEFT VENTRICLE of the heart was functionally impaired. This condition usually leads to HEART FAILURE; MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; and other cardiovascular complications. Diagnosis is made by measuring the diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the left ventricular wall.
What is a Left Ventricular Assist Device called?
LVAD
When was the left ventricular assist device invented?
1982
Anteroseptal wall ischemia?
Anterior Wall Ischemia: [blockage in the Left Anterior Descending Artery]
Is the San Andreas fault a right-lateral or left-lateral strike-slip fault?
It is a right- lateral fault
What is the lateral side of the skeleton?
Lateral refers to either the right or left side.
What are the risks of a misfire of the left ventricle?
The risk of left ventricular misfire is a left ventricular free wall rupture. A misfire in either the right or the left ventricle of the heart is an electrical problem with the circuitry. These conditions are usually treated through angioplasty.
What does the medical abbreviation LVF mean?
Left Ventricular Failure
