Welcome to HCM,

Antero septal MI,probably indicates irreversible death of myocardial tissue in the region of the septal wall separating the two right and left ventricular chambers of heart.

This is due to reduced blood supply of the heart.

Coronary angiography and Perfusion studies help to locate the site vascular obstruction.

An 2D-echocardiogram helps to document residual heart function post MI.

Percutaneous angioplasty can help to relieve and repair the block.

Consult your cardiologist for help,

Thank you
