What are the differences between myocardial infarction and myocardial ischemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ischemia: Ischemia is a term for tissue not getting enough oxygen(almost the same as not enough blood supply). Infarction is the end result of too much ischemia, it means death of the tissue. In other words infarction is the result of severe prolonged ischemia.
