Like gunk in a clogged drainpipe, this buildup prevents a free flow of blood through the arteries. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the heart. Myocardial ischemia is when your heart muscle doesn’t get enough blood, and it can lead to shortness of breath and chest pain (angina). Wi...

Myocardial IschemiaThe causes of myocardial ischemia include blood clots and coronary artery condition, which develops following the building up of cholesterol and plaque within the coronary artery that nourishes the heart muscle. Also, abuse of drugs such as cocaine can trigger the development of ...
Myocardial ischemia is a medical condition where the blood supplied to the muscular inner layer of the heart way is decreased. The severity of the blood decrease can determine whether the ischemia results in mild heart dysfunction or a fatal heart attack....
Myocardial ischemia can lead to serious complications, including: Heart attack. If a coronary artery becomes completely blocked, the lack of blood and oxygen can lead to a heart attack that destroys part of the heart muscle. The damage can be serious and sometimes fatal. Which artery is blocked...

* Myocardial ischemia or acute myocardial infarction * Pulmonary embolism * Drugs that increase sympathetic tone such as I.V. epinephrine and I.V. dopamine or drugs that decrease parasympathetic tone, such as I.V. atropine. An increased heart rate increases myocardial workload and oxygen consumptio...
The retina is also more accessible than other areas of the central ner- vous system, thus making it a simpler model to work with and study. By utilizing the retinal model, we can greatly increase our knowl- edge of the cell death processes initiated by ischemia which lead to degeneration ...
BACKGROUND: The relation of the warm-up ischemia phenomenon to the presence and intensity of initial myocardial ischemia is unclear. We sought to determine whether the warm-up ischemia phenomenon requires initial myocardial ischemia or can be induced by exercise without ischemia and whether there is...
What are the symptoms of myocardial ischemia? How does ischemic heart disease affect the body? What causes atrial fibrillation? How can a stroke cause aphasia? What can damage the cerebellum? What is a stroke? What happens to the brain cells and what are the consequences of the events of a...
