1. Lots of information on the web-but it must be spelled correctly. try Inferior ischemia look below for a site to get you started
2. it means that the muscle of inferior wall in the heart is either damaged or dead. Its something like that, i'm no expert.
3. Ischemia (loss of bloodflow) of the inferior myocardial wall is generally caused by blockages in the posterior descending coronary artery or the distal portion of the coronary artery branch. The inferior heart (as opposed to superior heart) is towards the bottom of the heart. This type of ischemia often leads to an Inferior Myocardial Infarction. Blood flow is reduced or blocked completely, the muscle cells in the heart begin to die, and the heart goes into attack. Much like any other heart attack, symptoms include chest pain (angina pectoris), shortness of breath (dyspnea), fatigue. Unique to inferior myocardial infarctions, nausea and vomiting may occur. The difference between inferior ischemia and posterior ischemia, for example, are important because cause and treatment vary for each. Therefore, it is important to seek a trained cardiologist's opinion if you are showing symptoms of a heart attack.
