Ischemic Colitis What Is Ischemic Colitis? Ischemic colitis (IC) is an inflammatory condition of the large intestine, or colon, that develops when there isn’t enough blood flow to the colon. IC can occur at any age, but it’s most common among those over the age of 60. A buildup of plaque inside the arteries, which is called atherosclerosis, can cause chronic, or long-term, IC. This condition may also go away with mild treatment, such as a short-term liquid diet and antibiotics.

Acute Limb Ischemia INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS. According to the 2007 Inter-Society Consensus for the Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease (TASC II), acute limb ischemia is defined as a sudden decrease in limb perfusion that causes a potential threat to limb viability [1]. The threatened limb may manifest as ischemic rest pain or the development of tissue loss (ulcers, gangrene).

Acute Myocardial Infarction Ischemia at this critical threshold level for an extended period results in irreversible myocardial cell damage or death. Critical myocardial ischemia can occur as a result of increased myocardial metabolic demand, decreased delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium via the coronary circulation, or both.

Acute Mesenteric Ischemia Acute mesenteric ischemia is interruption of intestinal blood flow by embolism, thrombosis, or a low-flow state. It leads to mediator release, inflammation, and ultimately infarction. Abdominal pain is out of proportion to physical findings.

Acute Porphyrias Acute porphyrias result from deficiency of certain enzymes in the heme biosynthetic pathway, resulting in accumulation of heme precursors that cause intermittent attacks of abdominal pain and neurologic symptoms. Attacks are precipitated by certain drugs and other factors.

Myocardial Infarction Myocardial infarction is considered part of a spectrum referred to as acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The ACS continuum representing ongoing myocardial ischemia or injury consists of unstable angina, non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).yocardial infarction (MI) (ie, heart attack) is the irreversible necrosis of heart muscle secondary to prolonged ischemia. Approximately 1.5 million cases of MI occur annually in the United States. See the images below.

Ischemic Stroke Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is characterized by the sudden loss of blood circulation to an area of the brain, typically in a vascular territory, resulting in a corresponding loss of neurologic function. Also previously called cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke syndrome, stroke is a nonspecific state of brain injury with neuronal dysfunc...

Ischemic colitis Ischemic colitis (also known as ischaemic colitis) is a medical condition in which inflammation and injury of the large intestine result from inadequate blood supply. Although uncommon in the general population, ischemic colitis occurs with greater frequency in the elderly, and is the most common form of bowel ischemia.

Myocardial Ischemia - Nuclear Medicine and Risk Stratification Myocardial ischemia is a disorder that usually is caused by a critical coronary artery obstruction, which is also known as atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is the leading cause of death worldwide, and it is the second most common cause of emergency department visits in the United States.

Ischemia Brain ischemia is insufficient blood flow to the brain, and can be acute or chronic. Acute ischemic stroke is a neurologic emergency that may be reversible if treated rapidly. Chronic ischemia of the brain may result in a form of dementia called vascular dementia.

Abdominal angina Abdominal angina is abdominal pain after eating that occurs in individuals with ongoing poor blood supply to their small intestines known as chronic mesenteric ischemia. The term angina is used in reference to angina pectoris, a similar symptom due to obstruction of the coronary artery.athophysiology [edit]. The pathophysiology is similar to that seen in angina pectoris and intermittent claudication. The most common cause of abdominal angina is atherosclerotic vascular disease, where the occlusive process commonly involves the ostia and the proximal few centimeters of the mesenteric vessels.

- Intestinal anthrax is rare and more difficult to recognize, except that it tends to occur in explosive food poisoning outbreaks; abdominal distress is followed by fever, signs of septicemia and death in the typical case. An oropharyngeal form of primary disease has been described.

Visceral artery disease The most common presentation of visceral artery disease is chronic mesenteric ischemia, insufficient blood-flow to the intestines. It causes pain after eating and results in weight loss. It can also result in a fatal interruption of blood-flow to the intestines.

Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff. Ischemic colitis occurs when blood flow to part of the large intestine (colon) is reduced, usually due to narrowed or blocked blood vessels (arteries). The diminished blood flow doesn't provide enough oxygen for the cells in your digestive system. Ischemic colitis can cause pain and may damage your colon.

Ischemia Ischemia or ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to tissues, causing a shortage of oxygen and glucose needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive). Ischemia is generally caused by problems with blood vessels, with resultant damage to or dysfunction of tissue. It also means local anemia in a given part of a body sometimes resulting from congestion (such as vasoconstriction, thrombosis or embolism).

Ischemic colitis induced by the newly reformulated multicomponent weight-loss supplement Hydroxycut Â® In conclusion, this is the first case report of ischemic colitis associated with ephedra-free weight-loss supplement hydroxycut. Our case demonstrates the importance of questioning patients regarding the usage of these supplements; especially since many patients consider them safe and do not disclose their use voluntarily to their physicians.

Current Options in the Diagnosis and Management of Acute Limb Ischemia Acute limb ischemia occurs due to a sudden decrease in the blood flow to a limb, resulting in a potential threat to the viability of the extremity. Unfortunately, the threat is not only to the limb, but these patients are also at high risk for death.

- Events that can lead to acute limb ischemia include an acute thrombosis at the site of an atherosclerotic plaque or bypass graft, an arterial embolism that originates in the heart or elsewhere, arterial dissections or aneurysms, and trauma. These etiologies of acute limb ischemia are worth a closer look.
