Microvascular ischemia refers to a condition where small blood vessels, particularly in the brain, become narrowed or blocked, leading to reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to tissues. This can result in damage to the affected areas, often contributing to neurological issues such as cognitive decline or stroke. It is commonly associated with conditions like Diabetes and hypertension. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies and assessment of underlying risk factors.
