Terms Related to Stenocardia

• Coronary Occlusion

  An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the coronary vessels to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA ...

• Myocardial Hibernation

  Prolonged dysfunction of the myocardium after a brief episode of severe ischemia, with gradual return of contractile activity. It occurs frequently, both in the experimental ...

• Myocardial Preconditioning

  Exposure of myocardial tissue to brief, repeated periods of vascular occlusion in order to render the myocardium resistant to the deleterious effects of ischemia or ...

• Myocardial Ischemia

  A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to ...

• Myocardial Ischemic Preconditioning

  Exposure of myocardial tissue to brief, repeated periods of vascular occlusion in order to render the myocardium resistant to the deleterious effects of ischemia or ...

• Brain Anoxia Ischemia

  A disorder characterized by a reduction in oxygen supply (HYPOXIA) combined with reduced blood flow (ISCHEMIA) to the brain. This condition may result from a ...

• Coronary Circulation

  The circulation of blood through the coronary vessels of the heart.
