Decreased blood flow to an organ, usually due to constriction or obstruction of an artery.
Lack of blood flow; (such as in ischemic stroke)
Localized tissue anemia due to obstruction of the inflow of arterial blood (as by the narrowing of arteries by spasm or disease).
Local reduction of blood supply due to obstruction of inflow of arterial blood.
A low oxygen state usually due to obstruction of the arterial blood supply or inadequate blood flow.
Insufficient blood flow to some part of the body, resulting in decreased oxygen availability.
Insufficient blood flow to and oxygen deprivation of tissue, usually due to constriction or obstruction of an artery.
A deficiency of oxygen in a part of the body, usually temporary. It can be due to a constriction or an obstruction in the blood vessel supplying such a part. Ischemic heart conditions include heart attack and related heart problems caused by narrowing of the coronary arteries and therefore a decreased supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. It is also called coronary artery disease and coronary heart disease.
An inadequate supply of oxygen for the heart and other organs. Ischemia can be caused by low levels of oxygen in the blood, or reduced blood flow through the heart. Often related to coronary artery disease.

a reduction in blood flow to a specific region
A deficiency of blood to a body part usually due to constriction or blockage of a blood vessel.
oxygen deficiency in organ tissues that may be due to constriction of obstruction in vessels supplying blood to a particular body part. Can lead to a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction); (see below).
(is- kee-me-ah) - Poor blood supply to an organ or part; can encourage adhesion formation at the site of surgical trauma.
