What is ischemic heart tissue?
Ischemia occurs when there is not enough oxygenated blood reaching the cardiac muscle cells.
Can you have a heart attack by having not enough oxygen in the cardiac muscle?
Yes, ischemia leads to heart arrest.
When a heart artery is clogged and heart muscle dies the condition is called?
irreversible ischemia
What is inferoapical ischemia?
Inferoapical ischemia is lack of blood flow below the apex.
When a heart artery is clogged and the heart muscle performs at a low level as a result of lack of blood the condition is called?
reversible ischemia
What is the Medical term meaning decrease of heart muscle?
Diastole is the relaxation phase of the heart.
The heart's typical response to ischemia is?
The natural biologic response to repeated myocardial ischemia (insufficient oxygen levels in heart muscle) is angiogenesis, the growth of new collateral blood vessels. http://www.cardiumthx.com/science-technology-overview.html
What is angina pecoris?
Angina pectoris, commonly referred to as just "angina", is chest pain caused by ischemia, or shortage of oxygenated blood supply, to the heart muscle. Unlike a heart attack, angina does not result in permanent damage to the heart muscle.
Why do you give oxygen for chest pain?
health professinals assumes that the patient is suffering from a ischemia of the heart and giving oxygen will resupply the heart muscle with high concentration of oxygen.
What occurs when an area of the heart muscle stops working and dies?
A heart attack.
What does inferolateral ischemia mean?
The term usually refers to a lack of oxygen in the cells of the side of the left ventricle (which is inferior/below and lateral/on-the-side of a standard electrocardiogram test. The lack of oxygen on the cellular level (also referred to as ischemia) is usually due to disrupted circulation to the heart muscle (in this case the left ventricular cardiac muscle). This is often due to a clot in the cardiac arteries which supply heart tissue with oxygenated blood. In short 'inferolateral ischemia' is a heart attack in the left ventricle.
Patient experiences severe ischemia what can happen to heart?
Ischemia is a medical term meaning insufficient oxygen ... usually caused by insufficient blood flow. If the ischemia is occurring in the heart it will probably cause some type of cardiac problem: anything from mild cardiac failure (not pumping all the blood that the body demands) to pain (angina) to death of some or all of the cardiac muscle (a heart attack).
