high lateral wall
Ischemia is the condition in which an artery has become abnormally widened because of a weakness in the arterial wall.
Ischemia means a reduced blood supply to an organ or body part.Antero- refers to the anterior, or front side of something.-lateral means to the side or the outside of something.So to put it all together Anterolateral Ischemiameans that there is or was a reduction of blood flow to the front outside part (of an organ).This is often a term used to describe findings after chest pain or a heart attack. In that case it would mean that the area of the heart on the front side and just to the outside (either right or left) of a line drawn down the middle of the heart has had a reduction in blood supply with some damage to the heart muscle tissue (either temporary or permanent).The heart muscle is called Myocardial tissue.Myo- is musclecardio- refers to heart.So, if this is describing reduction in blood supply to the outside front part of the heart muscle... that would be called Anterolateral Myocardial Ischemia.
