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 muscle
cardio- 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.
Lack of oxygen to the heart muscle due to blockage in an artery or vein.
my sister was just been told this is her problem as they have delayed her surgey on her colon how serious is this

What are the causes of silent ischemia?
Silent ischemia usually is caused by emotional or mental stress or by exertion, but there are no symptoms.
Where are the anterolateral and posterolateral abdominal walls?
The anterolateral walls are at the front and sides. The posterolateral walls are at the back and sides.
How do you use ischemia in a sentence?
ischemia is a result of hypoxia. hypoxia means low oxygen in the heart.
How do you describe symptomatic ischemia?
Symptomatic ischemia is characterized by chest pain called angina pectoris.
What are the common signs and symptoms of ischemia?
A tight, squeezing, heavy, burning, or choking pain that is usually beneath the breastbone and may spread to the throat, jaw or one arm. A feeling of heaviness or tightness, of gas or indigestion.
What are T wave abnormalities on anterolateral leads?
t-wave adnormalities can be related to ischemia in the anterolateral muscle of the heart or could be caused by other factors such as electrolyte abnormalities.
What is inferior antrolateral ischaemia?
Ischemia indicates there is a lack of blood flow to a section of the heart, which means insufficient oxygen and nutrients are flowing there. Anterolateral indicates the location, which is to the side and in front of the heart.
What are the causes of silent ischemia?
Silent ischemia usually is caused by emotional or mental stress or by exertion, but there are no symptoms.
Causes of lateral wall ischemia?
Blockage by plaques
What is the antonym of anterolateral?
Posteromedial is the antonym of anterolateral.
What is an anterolateral wall?
what is mild schemia in basal segment of anterolateral wall
What is anterolateral wall?
what is mild schemia in basal segment of anterolateral wall
What is an anterolateral ligament?
An anterolateral ligament is a ligament located on the outside front portion of the knee.
Where are the anterolateral and posterolateral abdominal walls?
The anterolateral walls are at the front and sides. The posterolateral walls are at the back and sides.
What is an anterolateral MI?
MI stands for "myocardial infarction," commonly known as a heart attach. Anterolateral means at the side and front.
What is the definition of ischemia?
Ischemia is a medical condition characterised by a restriction of blood into tissues which causes a shortage of glucose and oxygen needed to keep cells alive and healthy. This lack of oxygen can lead to Hypoxia and Cyanosis (blueing of the skin). There are a number of causes of Ischemia, some of which include Hypoglycemia, Atherosclerosis, Hypotension, Sickle Cell Disease, and Anemia.
What is the term for decreased blood flow?
Ischemia is the medical term for decreased blood flow. Ischemia limits the supply of oxygen to tissues.
