In the US: ~50% of deaths are due to ischemic heart disease (including myocardial infarction) ~15% of deaths are due to ischemic brain damage (including stroke)


Greek ischein“to restrain” + haima“blood” Ischemia occurs when the blood supply to a tissue is inadequate to meet the tissue’s metabolic demands Ischemia has 3 principal biochemical components: –Hypoxia (including anoxia) –Insufficiency of metabolic substrates –Accumulation of metabolic waste Therefore, ischemia is a greater insult to the cells and tissues than hypoxia alone

Causes of Ischemia:

Decreased Supply•Vascular insufficiency: –Atherosclerosis –Thrombosis –Embolism –Compression•Hypotension: –Shock –Hemorrhage



Causes of Ischemia:
Increased Demand•Increased tissue mass (hypertrophy) •Increased workload (tachycardia, exercise) •Increased tissue “stress” (cardiac dilatation)

Effect of Ischemia Depends on Severity and Duration of Injury

Effect of Ischemia Depends on Cell Type
•“Parenchymal” cells are more susceptible than “stromal” cells •Different parenchymal cells have different thresholds for ischemia: –Neurons: 3-4 min –Cardiac muscle, hepatocytes, renal tubular cells, gastrointestinal epithelium: 20-80 min –Fibroblasts, epidermis, skeletal muscle: hour

Loss of energy (ATP depletion, O2depletion)

Infarction
Latin infarctus, pp. of infarcire “to stuff” •An infarct is an area of tissue/organ necrosis caused by ischemia •Infarctions often result from sudden reduction of arterial (or occasionally venous) flow by thrombosis or embolism •Infarctions can also result from progressive atherosclerosis, spasms, torsions, or extrinsic compression of the vessels

Symptoms of Infarction

Chest Pain Nausea Fatique Dyspnia

Angina

Stable Angina 70% stenosis (plaque) Endocardium been ischemic Symptoms usually associated with exercise or stress and relief with rest Non -Stable Angina 85-95% stenosis (Plaque + Thrombosis) Ischemia Even in rest times, the symptoms still in there.

Angina pectoris

Hypoxia Adenosine and Bradykinin nervous response pressure, squeezing of chest  arms, shoulders involved  shortness of breath.

Arteriosclerosis

When endothelium of blood vessels becomes (Thicker, Harder. Less flexible) Endothelium (Tunica intima) Protection Secretion of anticoagulants

Factors causing damage

Endothelium damage can be due to: LDL Smoking (Chemicals) High blood pressure


Deposition of calcium Inflammation Increase of c-reactive protein Can be anywhere in the body Myocardial infarction
