Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Exercise tested positive for INDUCIBLE ISCHEMIA when undergoing a treadmill test. At moderate workload with Normal HR and BP Response Good Effort Tolerance Can you please let me know the treatment and the exact explanation of inducible ischemia? Your suggestions would be really helpful as I participate in Atketic event like 21KM Marathon. Thanks Ryan
Hi welcome to HCM. Inducible ischemia implies reduced blood supply to the heart muscle due to partial obstruction of coronary vessels.This gets evident on exercise like treadmill.Procedures like coronary angiogram will help to document the stenosis.Definitive treatment will include coronary angioplasty to stent the blood vessel.Marathon walks need to be avoided in your case as they lead to acute heart attacks.Consult your cardiologist for further help. Thank you.
