What is Ischemia of the septal wall?


Question:
What happens when a nuclear laboratory reports decreased tracer uptake is seen to the septal wall. What does mean redistribution of the septal wall?What happens

Answers:
Nuclear tests are great at telling you where there is deficit of blood flow. That implies narrowing of a particular coronary artery. "Decreased tracer uptake" in the septal wall means the artery that supplies the septum (the musculafr divider between left and right side of the gheart) may be blocked to some degree (but not fully). It means you are at the risk of a heart attack to this area and may need an angiogram to take a closer look (and to open the blockage if ned be). Work with your cardiologist about it and good luck!
