  2. Coronary ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_ischemia

    Coronary ischemia, myocardial ischemia, [1] or cardiac ischemia, [2] is a medical term for abnormally reduced blood flow in the coronary circulation through the coronary arteries. [3] Coronary ischemia is linked to heart disease, and heart attacks. [4] Coronary arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. [5]

  4. Ischemic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemic_cardiomyopathy

    Ischemic cardiomyopathy is a type of cardiomyopathy caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart. [4] Typically, patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy have a history of acute myocardial infarction, [5] however, it may occur in patients with coronary artery disease, but without a past history of acute myocardial infarction.

  5. Coronary artery disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_disease

    Coronary artery disease (CAD), also called coronary heart disease (CHD), or ischemic heart disease (IHD), [13] is a type of heart disease involving the reduction of blood flow to the cardiac muscle due to a build-up of atheromatous plaque in the arteries of the heart. [5] [6] [14] It is the most common of the cardiovascular diseases. [15]

  6. Coronary occlusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_occlusion

    This condition slows or blocks the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart. [2] This condition can lead to myocardial ischemia [2] and if untreated, may cause a heart attack and heart failure. [3] It is the most common form of cardiovascular disease, and is the leading cause of death in the United States, affecting 18 million adults. [4]

  7. Ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemia

    Cardiac ischemia may be asymptomatic or may cause chest pain, known as angina pectoris. It occurs when the heart muscle, or myocardium, receives insufficient blood flow. [10] This most frequently results from atherosclerosis, which is the long-term accumulation of cholesterol-rich plaques in the coronary arteries.

  8. Infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infarction

    The resulting ischemia (restriction in blood supply) and oxygen shortage, if left untreated for a sufficient period of time, can cause damage or kill heart muscle tissue . Histopathology at high magnification of a normal brain neuron, and a brain infarction at approximately 24 hours on H&E stain : The neurons become hypereosinophilic and there ...

  9. Myocardial stunning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_stunning

    Myocardial stunning or transient post-ischemic myocardial dysfunction is a state of mechanical cardiac dysfunction that can occur in a portion of myocardium without necrosis after a brief interruption in perfusion, despite the timely restoration of normal coronary blood flow.
