Reversible myocardial ischemia is a condition in which areas of myocardium becomes ischemic during stress (exercise) but regain its viabililty (circulation) on resting and do not progress to infarction. Such areas can be detaected by myocardial perfusion imaging like Thallium (T-201)scan.

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 occurs when the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen?

When the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen, it can lead to a condition called ischemia, which can result in chest pain (angina) or a heart attack (myocardial infarction). This oxygen deprivation can be caused by blockages in the coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
