Blockage by plaques
high lateral wall
Scintigraphy imaging showing Adenosine-induced ischemia in the lateral wall indicates reduced blood flow to that area of the heart during stress. This could suggest potential blockages or narrowing of the coronary arteries supplying blood to the lateral wall, which may require further evaluation and treatment to prevent cardiac complications.
Anterior wall ischemia
Lateral ischemia refers to reduced blood flow or oxygen supply to the lateral part of an organ or tissue. This can lead to tissue damage or dysfunction in the lateral area affected by the restricted blood flow.
Left ventricular strain refers to a condition where the left ventricle of the heart experiences abnormal stress or strain, often due to conditions like hypertension or heart disease, leading to impaired function. Left lateral ischemia specifically indicates insufficient blood flow to the left side of the heart, particularly affecting the lateral wall, which can result from blockages in coronary arteries. This ischemia can lead to chest pain, reduced heart function, and potentially heart damage if untreated. Both conditions require medical evaluation and management to prevent complications.

Lateral leads in a 12-lead ECG refer to the leads that primarily assess the electrical activity of the lateral wall of the left ventricle. These leads include I, aVL, V5, and V6. They provide important information about the heart's function and can help identify issues such as ischemia or infarction in the lateral region. Analyzing these leads is crucial for diagnosing various cardiac conditions.
Silent ischemia usually is caused by emotional or mental stress or by exertion, but there are no symptoms.
The ovaries are located in the pelvic cavity, specifically in the lateral wall of the pelvic cavity.
Lateral ST changes on an EKG refer to alterations in the ST segment that occur in the lateral leads, specifically leads I, aVL, V5, and V6. These changes can indicate ischemia or injury to the lateral wall of the heart, often associated with conditions like myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease. Elevation or depression of the ST segment in these leads can help clinicians identify and localize cardiac issues. Proper interpretation of these changes is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
Abnormalities in high lateral leads (I and aVL) on an electrocardiogram (ECG) can indicate issues related to the left lateral wall of the heart. Common abnormalities include ST-segment elevation or depression, T-wave inversions, and signs of myocardial ischemia or infarction. These changes may suggest underlying conditions such as coronary artery disease or left ventricular hypertrophy. Proper interpretation in the context of clinical symptoms and other leads is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
