Sign in to saveAlso known as ischaemia, ischaemic disease
Ischemia or ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to any tissue, muscle group, or organ of the body, causing a shortage of oxygen that is needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive). Ischemia is generally caused by problems with blood vessels, with resultant damage to or dysfunction of tissue, i.e., hypoxia and microvascular dysfunction. It also implies local hypoxia in a part of a body resulting from constriction (such as vasoconstriction, thrombosis, or embolism).
Ischemia is a restriction of blood flow to a part of your body that deprives cells of the oxygen they need to survive and function properly. It's typically caused by problems with blood vessels—such as constriction, clots, or blockages—and can damage or impair the affected tissue if not addressed.
