ischemic
Lacking blood flow
Ischemic describes tissue that isn't getting enough blood flow: ischemic heart disease, an ischemic stroke.
The restriction starves cells of oxygen and nutrients.
Medical contexts distinguish ischemic strokes, caused by blocked arteries, from hemorrhagic strokes, caused by bleeding.
The British spelling is ischaemic.
