Ischemic colitis reduces blood flow to the colon or large intestine. Mesenteric ischemia is a reduction in blood flow to the small intestine due to the narrowing of the arteries. Both conditions are ...

Myocardial ischemia is a drop in blood flow to the heart. Myocardial infarction, or heart attack, occurs when death or damage occurs in the muscle tissue of the heart due to low blood supply. The ...

For stable patients with chronic total occlusion (CTOs), treatment with an invasive strategy that includes coronary revascularization does not reduce the risk of cardiovascular death or myocardial ...

The validated 6-variable IsCHEMiA score accurately identifies patients at high risk for developing epilepsy following an acute ischemic stroke.

Ischemic colitis and mesenteric ischemia are both types of bowel ischemia. Ischemic colitis refers to reduced blood flow to the large intestine, while mesenteric ischemia happens due to reduced blood ...

For patients with chronic, limb-threatening ischemia due to atherosclerosis that affects the arteries below the knee, a revascularization strategy using endovascular treatment as the first option was ...

Approximately 20% of patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia have no revascularization options, leading to above-ankle amputation. Transcatheter arterialization of the deep veins is a ...

Stress testing results—no matter the modality used to obtain them—predict prognosis among patients with stable, moderate-to-severe CAD, new data from the ISCHEMIA trial suggest. The study, published ...

Patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) require revascularization to improve limb perfusion and thereby limit the risk of amputation. It is uncertain whether an initial strategy of ...
