What is the difference between reversible and irreversible ischemia?
what is reversible vs irreversible ischemia in the brain
What is the term for decreased blood flow?
Ischemia is the medical term for decreased blood flow. Ischemia limits the supply of oxygen to tissues.
How do you diagnose an obstruction complicated by ischemia?
It depends where the obstruction and ischemia are suspected of being located.
Is dissolving salt in water reversible or irreversible?
This is a reversible process.
What chemical reaction that can proceed forward or backward is a?
You think probable to a reversible reaction.
A ventricular wall motion abnormality that is reversible with nitroglycerin is?
Myocardial Ischemia

What is the meaning of negative for reversible myocardial ischemia?
A proof that a particular problem cannot be solved, or irreversible, ischemia mean that Inadequate blood supply (circulation) to a local area due to blockage of the blood vessels to the area.
What is the meaning for negative for provocable myocardial ischemia?
what is the meaning of negative for provocable ischemia
Condition associated with servere chest pain and myocardial ischemia?
myocardial infarction
Is transmural ischemia due to acute myocardial infarction?
Myocardial ischemia is owing to poor blood supply and infarction is due to no blood supply. The severity of both differs and ischemia can progress to infarction.
The pain of angina pectoris is produced primarily by?
Myocardial ischemia.
How do you describe myocardial ischemia?
Myocardial ischemia is a coronary artery disease during which the heart tissue is slowly or suddenly starved of oxygen and other nutrients. Eventually, the affected heart tissue will die.
What does myocardial ischemia look like on an ECG?
The ECG sign of subendocardial ischemia is ST segment depression. Note that ECG is used more now that EKG.
What kinds of health problems can be caused by blockages in coronary arteries?
Myocardial ischemia or infarction. (Heart attack)
Is inferolateral ischemia curable?
Ischemia of any type is reversible. If ischemia is prolonged, it can turn to injury or infarction (in the case of the heart) and cell death, at which time it is not reversible or curable. There are studies with stem cells ongoing to attempt to regrow cardiac cells in heart attack scars, however, so this may not be a permanent condition forever.
What is the prevalence of myocardial ischemia in the US?
According to the American Heart Association, up to four million Americans may have silent ischemia and be at high risk of having a heart attack with no warning.
