topicLogo Ischemia

Cardiac ischemia redirects to this page. In medicine , ischemia , also spelled as ischaemia or ischæmia , (from Greek ισχαιμία, ischaimía ; isch- root denoting a restriction or thinning or to make or grow thin/lean, haema blood ) is a restriction in blood supply to tissues , causing a shortage of oxygen and glucose needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive). Ischemia is generally caused by problems with blood vessels , with resultant damage or dysfunction of tissue. It also means local anemia in a given part of a body sometimes resulting from congestion (such as vasoconstriction , thrombosis or embolism ). Ischemic means having or showing symptoms of ischemia, while nonischemic means not related to or showing signs of ischemia .
