- Ischemia: local anemia in a given body part sometimes resulting from vasoconstriction or thrombosis or embolism
- (ischaemic) ischemic: relating to or affected by ischemia
- Ischemia 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 to or dysfunction of tissue...
- (Ischaemic) Localized tissue anemia due to obstruction of the inflow of arterial blood (as by the narrowing of arteries by spasm or disease).
- Insufficient blood flow to tissue due to blockage in the blood flow through the arteries.
- A period of insufficient blood flow (and therefore oxygen supply) to a part of the body, especially relevant during transplant or operative procedures.
- A low oxygen state, usually due to inadequate blood flow, may be the result of obstruction or low perfusion leading to low oxygen levels in the tissue.
- A combination of hypoxia and poor perfusion resulting in metabolic acidosis and possible organ damage.
- A situation of oxygen deprivation. Prolonged oxygen deprivation in the brain results in permanent damage, commonly described as a stroke. The usual cause is a blood clot in an artery supplying the brain tissue.
