Answer to Question 1

Inducible myocardial ischemia is not constant ischemia but ischemia that occurs under certain conditions, namely stress. The ischemia can be reversed and then provoked again by changing the physiologic conditions.

Answer to Question 2

Coronary artery disease causes ischemia that lessens the muscle activity of the tissue that is served by the artery. If an artery is occluded, less oxygen will reach the muscle tissue it serves and the muscle will show less movement. The lack of movement can be seen on an echocardiogram as a wall motion abnormality.
