A member asked:
Does myocarditis cause ischemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ischemia is a condition where blood flow is reduced. The word implies blockage from the source or failure to deliver flow when there is no blockage. Myocarditis is a condition where the heart muscle is inflamed, like tonsils swell during an infection. The inflammation does not reduce blood flow, it may increase need for blood in the inflamed area.
