Ischemia is it curable

Answer 1

Yes it is in some sense, the problem is generally related to the inefficient blood circulation to the heart. There is a treatment available nowadays which solely focuses on blood circulation known as EECP treatment or ECP treatment (External counter pulsation) which is as simple as a massage and would help you in creating multiple natural bypasses in your heart. This treatment involves no invasive surgery or medicine use. It is effective because it results in opening up of newer blood vessels in your heart ( a process known as angiogenesis) and thus creating multiple natural bypasses. It is also beneficial for patients with high blood pressure, Diabetes, kidney disease, high cholesterol, obesity, ischemic stroke and many more diseases.

Answer 2

Ischemia is a temporary condition in which a tissue does not receive enough oxygen and other metabolic substrates for a short time. Ischemia can either improve and go away, or worsen and become cell injury and death.

In the case of cardiac ischemia, it is most frequently seen in the setting of angina, in which there is a plaque partially or mostly occluding a coronary artery and the tissue depending on that artery become ischemic when the person exercises and not enough blood can get by the plaque to supply adequate oxygen and substrate to that tissue. The person gets chest pain and stops doing whatever it was he/she was doing, allowing the heart to slow and blood flow to match need again, relieving the ischemia. If that plaque ruptures, and forms a clot, resting does not relieve the ischemia, and cell injury and death may result, a myocardial infarction.
