What is the difference between reversible and irreversible ischemia?

Reversible ischemia occurs when blood flow is temporarily restricted to an area, but the tissue is not permanently damaged and can recover if blood flow is restored quickly. Irreversible ischemia, on the other hand, results in permanent tissue damage due to prolonged lack of blood supply, leading to cell death and potentially organ dysfunction.


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.
