Hi
Thanks for your query
Inferior wall ischemia means a reduced blood supply to muscles of the lower portion of the heart. It can occur if the artery supplying blood is narrowed due to atherosclerosis.
The findings on ECG need to be confirmed by doing a stress test and a 2 D Echo.
Hope this helps
Good luck
