Myocardial ischemia, also called cardiac ischemia, is a condition characterized by reduced blood flow to the heart. A common cause is plaque buildup in the coronary arteries. Myocardial ischemia may ...

Because it causes tissue damage and tissue death in the legs, feet, and toes, PAD is implicated in 150,000 lower-limb ...

Ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to a part of the body. It is often caused by plaque building up and thickening or hardening the artery supplying that area or organ.

Patients enrolled in the ISCHEMIA trial with a history of heart failure or left ventricular dysfunction randomized to invasive management with either PCI or CABG surgery had significantly better ...

For retired grandfather Ed Langevin, life was good. He spent plenty of time with his grandkids. He went to church regularly. And he loved the simple things, like a bowl of pasta or a sub from his ...

An acute MI may be the initial clinical manifestation of CAD in elderly persons, although many elderly persons experience myocardial ischemia for years prior to an acute MI. Unfortunately, due to the ...

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a severe complication of peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD occurs when plaque builds up in blood vessels that deliver blood from the heart to other areas. CLI ...

Alternative model systems to study ischemia-reperfusion are needed to support a wide range of disease-related investigations in the life sciences. Ischemia and reperfusion are relevant to many disease ...
