Most people who have sickle cell anemia take anti-clotting medications to prevent ischemia. Ventricular Tachycardia Ventricular tachycardia is a series of sudden irregular heartbeats that can cause the heart to function incorrectly or, in the most severe cases, to stop completely. The resulting ...

What is atherosclerosis of the native coronary artery without angina pectoris? What is coronary artery stenosis? How does ischemic heart disease occur? What is obstructive coronary artery disease? What is the cause of ischemia in coronary artery disease?
Some of the causes of ischemia include: Atherosclerosis– This is one of the most common causes of ischemia and in this condition, cholesterol and other waste products from the cells accumulates on the walls of the blood vessels narrowing it and restricting the flow of blood. ...
Myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction can damage the heart, reducing the heart’s pumping function and causing fatal cardiac arrhythmias. If the coronary artery is completely blocked, it will cause a heart attack. This is viewed as the leading cause of death in patients with cardiovascular ...
Asthma and other disorders of the lung, heart, or brain can also cause hypoxic ischemia. Anemic hypoxia: Decreased hemoglobin levels in the blood, hence there is decreased oxygen capacity of the blood. Hemoglobin is a protein present in the red blood cells (RBC). It binds to oxygen and ...
Conclusion: As in our case, if the patient is concurrently diagnosed with epidural hematoma in addition to INH poisoning, it can be difficult to discriminate the cause of seizure. Although lactic acidosis, hyperglycemia, and seizure were defined as a classical triad for INH poisoning, this triad...
Ischemia is the lack of sufficient blood so coronary heart disease is sometimes called ischemic heart disease. What Are the Risk Factors for Heart Disease? Multiple risk factors cause coronary heart disease. The most common risk factors are heredity (coronary heart disease runs in the family); ...
Milk Intolerance – Milk intolerance is another common cause of abdominal pain, resulting in vomiting, improper digestion of milk and pain in abdomen. This occurs due to the lack of ability to digest the sugar (lactose) present in milk and the result is gastric disturbance and abdominal pain....
