What Or a reduced amount of oxygen in the ischemic tissue might damage the muscle cell membrane.?

A reduced amount of oxygen in ischemic tissue leads to anaerobic metabolism, resulting in the accumulation of lactic acid and decreased ATP production. This energy deficit compromises the function of ion pumps in the muscle cell membrane, particularly the sodium-potassium pump, causing an imbalance of ions and cell swelling. Additionally, the lack of oxygen can trigger oxidative stress and inflammation, further damaging the cell membrane and leading to cell death. Overall, these factors contribute to muscle tissue injury in ischemic conditions.

What is a ischemic attack?

A Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is now defined as a transient episode of neurologic dysfunction caused by focal brain, spinal cord, or retinal ischemia, without acute infarction. The end point is biologic (tissue injury) rather than arbitrary (24 hours). In keeping with this definition of TIA, ischemic stroke is defined as an infarction of central nervous system tissue.


What is the abbreviation for transient ischemic attack?
