It is the loss or reduced blood supply to a part of the muscular tissue of the heart.
Myo means muscle, cardial means heart, and ischemia means death. Therefore, picking the word apart, it would mean that part of the heart muscle dies from that lack of blood.

What distinguishes myocardial ischemia from myocardial infarction?
George
Can ischemia lead to 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.
Condition associated with servere chest pain and myocardial ischemia?
myocardial infarction
What organ system has myocardial ischemia?
muscular system
Is transmural ischemia due to acute myocardial infarction?
yes
The pain of angina pectoris is produced primarily by?
Myocardial ischemia.
What condition can myocardial ischemia lead to?
When blood flow is completely blocked to the heart, ischemia can lead to a heart attack .
A ventricular wall motion abnormality that is reversible with nitroglycerin is?
Myocardial Ischemia
What organ system is homeostatically imbalanced myocardial ischemia?
Cardiovascular system
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 are the causes of myocardial ischemia?
Myocardial ischemia is caused by blockage of an artery due to atherosclerotic plaque as well as blood clots (which tend to form on plaque), artery spasms or contractions, or any of these factors combined.
What is reversible myocardial ischemia?
Reversible myocardial ischemia is a condition in which areas of myocardium becomes ischemic during stress (exercise) but regain its viabililty (circulation) on resting and do not progress to infarction. Such areas can be detaected by myocardial perfusion imaging like Thallium (T-201)scan.
