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.

Is Intestinal ischemia curable?

Yes, it is curable. Intestinal ischemia happens when blood flow to your intestines is diminished. It is treated with antibiotics, or in extreme cases with surgery.


What is inferolateral ischemia?

Inferolateral ischemia refers to reduced blood flow to the lower and outer areas of the heart. This condition can result from a blockage or narrowing of the coronary arteries supplying that region, leading to symptoms such as chest pain and possible damage to the heart muscle. It is typically diagnosed through an electrocardiogram (ECG) and may require treatment such as medications or procedures to restore blood flow.


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 reversible inferolateral defect?

A reversible inferolateral defect seen on a myocardial perfusion imaging scan typically indicates reduced blood flow to the inferior and lateral walls of the heart during stress, but this impairment is reversible with rest. It suggests the presence of ischemia in those regions and may indicate potential underlying coronary artery disease. Follow-up testing and evaluation by a healthcare provider is usually recommended to further assess the significance of this finding.
