ischaemia
Tissue oxygen deprivation
Ischaemia is the British spelling of ischemia—a medical condition in which blood flow to a tissue or organ is restricted, depriving it of oxygen and nutrients.
Cardiac ischaemia affects the heart; cerebral ischaemia affects the brain.
The blockage caused ischaemia in the surrounding tissue.
Prolonged ischaemia leads to tissue death.
