what is the nagitive maximal ischemia at high work load?

Public Comments

1. Since ischemia is an insufficient supply of blood or blood flow. to specific organs or tissues. Esp. heart,kidneys and legs. With the heart, it is angina or chest pains, with the kidney it may lead to renal failure, with the blood vessels of the legs may cause cramp- like pain during exercise. Was that of the heart at high work load ? Did you mean negative? Or is this another way of saying it may have been heart attack. ???
2. It should be negative for ischemia at maximal work load. That means that the stress test (treadmill exercise test or any other stress test) is negative for inducible ischemia at maximum work load for the heart. Ischemia means reduction in blood supply. Reduction in blood supply can occur due to narrowing of blood vessels supplying the heart. Negative for ischemia at maximal work load indicates a good result.
