  2. Coronary ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_ischemia

    Coronary ischemia, myocardial ischemia, [1] or cardiac ischemia, [2] is a medical term for abnormally reduced blood flow in the coronary circulation through the coronary arteries. [3] Coronary ischemia is linked to heart disease, and heart attacks. [4] Coronary arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. [5]

  3. Choke-out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke-out

    A choke-out is a hand-to-hand combat tactic involving the use of a chokehold to cause syncope, or temporary loss of consciousness, at which point the choke is released.. Common chokeholds in grappling used to accomplish a choke-out include the rear naked choke, arm triangle, triangle choke, and the guil

  4. Chokehold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chokehold

    A chokehold, choke, stranglehold or, in Judo, shime-waza (Japanese: 絞技, lit. 'constriction technique') [1] is a general term for a grappling hold that critically reduces or prevents either air [2] or blood from passing through the neck of an opponent. The restriction may be of one or both and depends on the hold used and the reaction of the ...

  5. Ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemia

    Cardiac ischemia may be asymptomatic or may cause chest pain, known as angina pectoris. It occurs when the heart muscle, or myocardium, receives insufficient blood flow. [10] This most frequently results from atherosclerosis, which is the long-term accumulation of cholesterol-rich plaques in the coronary arteries.

  6. Myocardial infarction complications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction...

    3D still showing normal heart vs heart failure. A myocardial infarction may compromise the function of the heart as a pump for the circulation, a state called heart failure. There are different types of heart failure; left- or right-sided (or bilateral) heart failure may occur depending on the affected part of the heart, and it is a low-output ...

  7. Coronary arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_arteries

    Coronary artery disease (CAD) or ischemic heart disease are the terms used to describe narrowing of the coronary arteries. [8] As the disease progresses, plaque buildup can partially block blood flow to the heart muscle. Without enough blood supply , the heart is unable to work properly, especially under increased stress.

  8. Ischemic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemic_cardiomyopathy

    Ischemic cardiomyopathy is a type of cardiomyopathy caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart. [4] Typically, patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy have a history of acute myocardial infarction, [5] however, it may occur in patients with coronary artery disease, but without a past history of acute myocardial infarction.

  9. Ischemic preconditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemic_preconditioning

    Ischemic preconditioning of the heart (B) provides functional recovery of the heart contractile activity at reperfusion. If the blood supply to an organ or a tissue is impaired for a short time (usually less than five minutes) then restored so that blood flow is resumed, and the process repeated two or more times, the cells downstream of the tissue or organ are robustly protected from a final ...
