What is inferior ischemia, what are the symptoms and can it be cured?

I really need to know what are the symptoms of inferior ischemia and what can cause this kind of heart disease. Is it serious and can it be cured? Is this something that comes before heart attack? Please can someone answer.

  1. in a high percentage of the population the symptom will be chest pain + or _ left arm discomfort. or lower jaw pain don't be misled by the word pain, they may have a dull central chest ache or described as Weight on their chest. may be short of breath sweaty pale or have nausea. if they have any of these symptoms they need to rest and call an ambulance immediately. if They are under a doctors treatment they may have an action plan of taking an oral or sub-lingual[under the tongue nitrate spray, the most common cause is narrowing or blockage to the arteries that supply the inferior or bottom of the heart. depending on the patients age, they may have alternate or collateral circulation to the area. it sounds like you need to talk with the patients doctor or cardiologist to educate yourself and Elevaite unnecessary stress from this. it is a manageable condition in most cases. as long as treated.
  2. inferior ischemia means loss of blood supply to the inferior wall of the left ventricle. the leads on the ekg which would have detected this would be leads 2, 3 and AVF and the t wave will be inverted in these leads. so which arteries supply the inferior wall of the left ventricle ? they are the right coronary artery and the left circumflex coronary artery. so either one of these 2 or both of them is blocked. and yes it can be cured but you need to hurry up and go to the cardiologist before it becomes an infarction
