It may indicate early signs of atherosclerosis, a condition where fatty deposits build up in the arteries, but mild calcification alone does not necessarily indicate significant disease.

Ischemia is a medical term meaning insufficient oxygen ... usually caused by insufficient blood flow. If the ischemia is occurring in the heart it will probably cause some type of cardiac problem: anything from mild cardiac failure (not pumping all the blood that the body demands) to pain (angina) to death of some or all of the cardiac muscle (a heart attack).
Ischemia is a restriction of blood supply.Atherosclerosis is the build up of cholesterol and plaque in the arteries.Cerebrovascular, vascular means related to blood vessels, and cerebro means dealing with the brain.Adding that all up it means the restriction of blood supply to the brain caused by plaque buildup, which is generally the first step in getting a stroke.
a term cardiologists use to indicate that a persons heart can be saved with an intervention before an event like a heart attack. the intervention is usually a stent or bypass, depending on the severity and vessels invloved.
