What is it called when you have poor blood circulation?
ischaemia
Insufficient blood supply in human body is referred as?
Ischaemia
What are some of the diseases of the heart?
Coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, cardiovascular, ischaemia, arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, and angina
What is the next step after a tmt was positive for inducible ischemia?
Positive for inducible ischaemia means insufficient supply of oxygen to heart. Possibility of blockages in the arteries of the heart are implied. Sometimes it can be a false positive alert. Doctor's expertise and advise is very important in Positive inducible ischaemia cases.
What results when brain region is deprived of blood or exposed to prolonged ischaemia?
Intercranial hemorrhage
Differentiate myocardial ischemia from myocardial infarction?
Ischaemia is the lack of blood supply to a tissue which start anaerobic respiratory mechanisms. Infarction is cell death through apoptosis resulting from prolonged or severe ischaemia. Clinicaly myocardial infarction will be more painful and is unrelieved by rest. On ECG infarction will reult in ST segment elevation where ischaemia will result in ST segment depresion (unless it is a posterior MI!). In MI there will also be raised biochemical markers hours later such as creatine kinase and troponin.
What has the author Ian Clark Wilson written?
Ian Clark Wilson has written: 'The role of leucocytes in neonatal myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury'
What is a neurothesiometer?
The Neurothesiometer is a device that screens and monitors diabetic neuropathy by measuring vibration sense. It encourages diabetics to look after their feet and preventing ischaemia and neuropathies.
What has the author Karianne Backx written?
Karianne Backx has written: 'An investigation into the effects of cooling, ischaemia and electrical stimulation on physiological tremor measured isotonically and isometrically'
What is myoglobulinemia?
You have a myoglobin, an oxygen storage molecule akin to haemoglobin, in the blood. This could be due to the muscle trauma or ischaemia leading to death and breakdown. Myoglobin is toxic to kidney nephrons.
What is inferior antrolateral ischaemia?
Ischemia indicates there is a lack of blood flow to a section of the heart, which means insufficient oxygen and nutrients are flowing there. Anterolateral indicates the location, which is to the side and in front of the heart.
What is ishemia?
Ischamia is the lack of oxygen to a certain part of the body. For example in a heart attack, the heart muscle undergoes ischaemia because blood can't reach the heart muscle cells.
