| Although this may be secondary to sudden decompensation of chronic heart failure, myocardial ischemia is also common. |
| The amount of injury is proportional to the duration and severity of the ischemia. |
| In the lower extremities, arteriosclerosis causes ischemia of the calf muscles during ambulation. |
| If a person is having low blood flow or ischemia of the heart, we would treat that. |
| In critical leg ischemia, blood flow is inadequate to meet the metabolic demands of the limb even at rest. |
| The sudden onset of vertigo in a patient with additional neurologic symptoms suggests the presence of vascular ischemia. |
