Tags: ischemia, what is ischemia

Ischemia refers to a condition characterized by an inadequate blood supply to a particular organ or tissue. It occurs when there is a reduced or blocked blood flow to the affected area, leading to a decreased oxygen and nutrient supply. Ischemia can occur in various parts of the body, but it is commonly associated with the heart (cardiac ischemia) and the brain (cerebral ischemia). It is often caused by atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of plaque in the arteries, leading to narrowing or blockage of blood vessels.
