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 Inferior Infarct?
An inferior infarction refers to a heart attack (myocardial infarction - MI) involving the inferior and possibly the posterior wall of the heart. This area of the heart is supplied blood by the right coronary artery and sometimes a part of it is supplied by a small branch of the left coronary artery. If the right coronary artery becomes diseases with lipid laden plaques, and a plaque ruptures, it can cause an infarction in the inferior or posterior walls of the heart. This will frequently cause chest pain, nausea, vomiting, sweating, shortness of breath, and possibly syncope. Sometimes, the only symptoms are nausea and vomiting, especially in women, the elderly, and those with Diabetes mellitus. When your physician performs an EKG, there can be changes seen in the inferior leads (II, III, aVF, and possibly V1 or V2). This is how s/he diagnoses an acute MI. You may need clotbusting medication, but if it is available, a cardiac catheterization can sometimes open the artery and prevent further damage to the cardiac muscle.
