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 ischaemia
Nevertheless, in an attempt to produce pre-eclampsia in animals, investigators have experimentally induced uteroplacental ischaemia in a variety of species.
Critical limb ischaemia with peripheral neuropathy is a frequent complication in diabetes.
The potential antioxidant and neuroprotective properties are offset by the theoretical risk of cerebrovascular ischaemia.
Pathophysiology of hypertension during preeclampsia linking placental ischaemia with endothelial dysfunction.
The combination of asphyxia and ischaemia due to hypotension and hypoperfusion results in a decrease of cerebral oxygen consumption and, if sustained, brain damage.
Increased intracellular calcium is an important early factor in the cell damage seen in cerebral ischaemia.
Coronary artery disease can give rise to reversible diastolic dysfunction during periods of acute ischaemia in elderly patients.
This process, in addition to sustained or episodic hypotension may induce cerebral hypoperfusion, ischaemia and hypoxia.
