0 a medical problem in which there is not enough blood flowing to a part of the body, usually because the arteries have become too narrow. It can lead to very serious health conditions:
cerebral/myocardial ischemia
Ischemia is a condition in which blood flow and oxygen are blocked from going to certain parts of the body.
In this case, prognosis really depends on the cause of the ischemia.
Need to check with your cardiologist with a stress test to see if there are sufficient to alleviate ischemia.
Ischemia may cause the heart to lose up to 50 percent of energy.
In patients exhibiting mental stress-induced ischemia, stress management was shown to be beneficial over exercise and was associated with lower medical costs (4).
The delayed cell death from global ischemia is thought to be mainly due to apoptotic mechanisms.
Focal ischemia differs from global ischemia in that much of the damage occurs through necrotic cell death mechanisms.
Calcium entering the cells during early ischemia triggers events that cause damage hours or days later.
