Hypoxia and Medicine

Could u please explain what does it mean Mildly positive to ISCHEMIA?

After a tread mill test I got the result and mentioned on the result as I mentioned above,ie: mildly positive to Ischemia? with the question mark.

1. There is a mild lack of blood supply to the tissue. Ischemia means there is a lack of blood flow to an area of tissue, which decreases the amount of oxygen and nutrients to the affected tissue.
2. Ischemia is the medical term for that means that the organ is not getting the blood supply it needs. This is what doctors are looking for when they perform stress test. Your results suggest that your heart gets enough blood at rest, but when you exercise there is an area of your heart that is not getting enough blood flow (ischemia.) This is usually due to a blockage in one of the arteries that supply your heart. There are many treatment options for this, including medical therapy (Aspirin, Beta blockers, etc.), angioplasty with/without stent placement or surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting.) The appropriate treatment is determined by the location, size of area involved, symptoms, etc. Discuss it with your doctor.
