An inferior wall defect refers to a specific type of electrical conduction abnormality in the heart, often identified on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It typically indicates issues in the inferior portion of the heart, commonly associated with ischemia or damage to the heart muscle, particularly involving the right coronary artery. This defect can manifest as ST-segment elevation or depression, signaling potential heart conditions such as a myocardial infarction. Diagnosis and management usually involve further cardiac evaluation and treatment to address the underlying causes.

What does it mean a diaphragmatic attenuation versus reverisbility in the inferior wall?

Diaphragmatic attenuation typically refers to a decrease in image quality in the inferior wall of the heart due to interference from the diaphragm. Reversibility in the inferior wall usually indicates that a defect revealed during imaging is potentially reversible, often highlighting areas of reduced blood flow that may improve with treatment.

What is interior infarction?

An inferior, not interior, infarction is a subclassification of a heart attack. An inferior myocardial infarction occurs when there is a blockage in the inferior wall of a coronary artery.


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.


What is the THE BIRTH DEFECT OF A hole in the heart between the upper chambers?

The upper chambers of the heart are called atria, and the wall that separates them is called the atrial septum. Thus a defect in that wall is called an atrial septal defect. They are not uncommon, and can run in families and be associated with genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome.

Any connection between GERD and umbilical hernias?

No. They are not connected. GERD is due to a defect in the digestive tract (esophagus). An umbilical hernia is a defect in the wall of the abdomen where the the peritoneum, or the lining of the abdominal cavity, pushes through the muscle wall.


What treatment exists for patients with an abdominal wall defect?

Abdominal wall defects are effectively treated with surgical repair. Unless there are accompanying anomalies, the surgical procedure is not overly complicated. The organs are normal, just misplaced. However, if the defect is large.


How do you explain about the VSD?

VSD is abbreviation of Ventrical Septal Defect whic is a congenital heart defect. it is a defect in the heart wall that seperates left and right ventricals. this wall is called Septum. in VSD the blood flows into right ventical from the left ventrical through the septum which is not normal. for more details please see wikipedia.org. thanks
