| ischemia | <physiology> A low oxygen state usually due to obstruction of the arterial blood supply or inadequate blood flow leading to hypoxia in the tissue. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (13 Nov 1997) |

| ischemia-modifying factors | Various factors that play a role in determining the extent of necrosis with cerebral stroke; these include blood viscosity and osmolality, the blood pressure, and the anatomy of the neck and intracranial arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ischemia retinae | Diminished blood supply in the retina due to failure of the arterial circulation; it may occur as a result of arterial embolism or spasm; poisoning, as by quinine; or exsanguination from recurring profuse haemorrhages (e.g., in parturition, gastric and duodenal ulcers, and pulmonary tuberculosis); bilateral transitory or permanent blindness may result.
