Myocardial Infarction

Question 3 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

What is ischemia?

Answer
A
medication to treat myocardial infarctions
B
type of heart damage
C
branch of the coronary arteries
D
insufficient blood supply to the heart

Explanation

Ischemia means that a tissue does not receive enough blood, and therefore not enough oxygen. In the heart, this is called myocardial ischemia, so the correct choice is insufficient blood supply to the heart. It is not a medication, a coronary artery branch, or the damage itself.
