- Definition. Volkmann contracture is a deformity of the hand, fingers, and wrist caused by injury to the muscles of the forearm.Ischemic contracture. Volkmann contracture occurs when there is a lack of blood flow (ischemia) to the forearm.This usually occurs when there is increased pressure due to swelling, a condition called compartment syndrome.olkmann contracture occurs when there is a lack of blood flow (ischemia) to the forearm.

Ischemic colitis Ischemic colitis. Ischemic colitis (also spelled 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.

- Ischemia (is-KE' me-ah) is a condition that occurs when blood flow and oxygen are kept from a particular part of the body. Cardiac ischemia is the name for this condition when the heart is the body part targeted.

Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency (Insufficiencies Vertebrobasilar) VBI is a general term for any reduction in blood flow affecting the vertebral or basilar arteries. Distinct brain portions may be affected by vertebrobasilar ischemia and thus, symptoms may vary between VBI patients.

Ischemic colitis Ischemic 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. Causes of the reduced blood flow can include changes in the systemic circulation or local factors such as constriction of blood vessels or a blood clot. In most cases, no specific cause can be identified. Ischemi

- What is ischemia? Ischemia is any reduction in blood flow resulting in decreased oxygen and nutrient supplies to a tissue. Ischemia may be reversible, in which case the affected tissue will recover if blood flow is restored, or it may be irreversible, resulting in tissue death. Ischemia can also be acute, due to a sudden reduction in blood flow, or chronic, due to slowly decreasing blood flow. Ischemia can occur anywhere in the body.

Overview Definition. Raynaud's (ray-NOHZ) disease causes some areas of your body — such as your fingers and toes — to feel numb and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress. In Raynaud's disease, smaller arteries that supply blood to your skin narrow, limiting blood circulation to affected areas (vasospasm).

Raynaud Phenomenon Raynaud's phenomenon is a disorder characterized by blood vessel abnormality caused by overactivity of smooth muscle in the wall of arteries, leading to spasms (vasospasms with narrowing) of the small vessels that supply blood to the arms, legs, hands, feet, and sometimes the ears and nose.

Ischemia - Topic Overview What is ischemia? Ischemia is the medical term for what happens when your heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen. Ischemia usually happens because of a shortage of blood and oxygen to the heart muscle. It is usually caused by a narrowing or blockage of one or more of the coronary arteries (which supply blood to the heart muscle). In many cases ischemia is a temporary problem.

Freibergâs Disease Freiberg’s Infarction is the term applied to the condition when it occurs in a child. It is likely that the excessive pressure causes a small fracture to occur within the cartilage growth plate that exists between the long shaft of the metatarsal bone and the head, cutting off the blood flow.reiberg’s Infraction. Freiberg’s Infraction is the terminology used in the adult condition where the x-ray signs are very similar. It has been shown that, while many people have two or three arteries that can supply blood to the area, some have only one making complete loss of blood flow more possible.

Heart and Stroke Encyclopedia Ischemic Vascular Disease (IVD) is a term that includes a group of diseases caused by the build-up of plaque. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Coronary heart disease is where atherosclosis affects the coronary arteries in the heart. If the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle is reduced or blocked, angina (an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) or a heart attack may occur.

ischemia a decreased supply of oxygenated blood to a body part. The condition is often marked by pain and organ dysfunction, as in ischemic heart disease. Some causes of ischemia are arterial embolism, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and vasoconstriction. Also spelled ischaemia.

Ischemia Ischemia is a vascular disease involving an interruption in the arterial blood supply to a tissue, organ, or extremity that, if untreated, can lead to tissue death. It can be caused by embolism, thrombosis of an atherosclerosis artery, or trauma.

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.

How Ischemia Affects Different Parts of the Body Ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to one of the body’s organs, most often caused by an atherosclerotic plaque in the artery supplying that organ. An organ subjected to ischemia is referred to as being ischemic.

A Guide to the Pathophysiology of Ischemic Heart Disease What is Ischemic Heart Disease? Ischemia is a condition when cells do not get enough blood supply and therefore lack oxygen resulting in cell damage. Ischemic heart disease develops when the blood supply to the organ is not enough and the demand or need exceeds the supply.

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. A brief episode of ischemia affecting the brain is called a transient ischemic attack (TIA) often called a mini-stroke. Limb Edit

Overview Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to your heart is reduced, preventing it from receiving enough oxygen. The reduced blood flow is usually the result of a partial or complete blockage of your heart's arteries (coronary arteries).

(A-Z) All Ischemic cardiomyopathy (IC) is a condition that occurs when the heart muscle is weakened. In this condition, the left ventricle, which is the main heart muscle, is usually enlarged and dilated.This condition can be a result of a heart attack or coronary artery disease, a narrowing of the arteries.rognosis for Ischemic Cardiomyopathy. Treating the underlying cause of IC (most often coronary artery disease) is key to preventing the serious complications that untreated IC can lead to. Untreated IC can eventually lead to heart failure, blood clots, or death.
