What is reversible ischemia?

Poor blood flow: When arteries are narrowed, not enough oxygen gets to the tissue. This is worse when exercising a muscle ( or heart muscle), becuause its oxygen requirement are increased. At rest it might not be as much of an issue , because oxygen requirements are less.
