Anterior ischemia refers to a condition where there is a reduction in blood flow to the anterior (front) part of the heart. This type of ischemia is specifically localized to the front of the heart muscle, which can be caused by a blockage or narrowing in the coronary arteries that supply blood to this region. The blockage can be due to atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of plaque in the arteries, or it can be caused by a blood clot. When the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen-rich blood, it can lead to chest pain (angina) and, if severe or prolonged, can result in a heart attack. It's important to note that ischemia is a serious medical condition that requires prompt attention and treatment to prevent further damage to the heart muscle. read more >>

Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to your heart is reduced, preventing it from receiving enough oxygen. The reduced blood flow is usually the result of a partial or complete blockage of your heart's arteries (coronary arteries). ... A sudden, severe blockage of a coronary artery can lead to a heart attack.read more >>
