He hates the thought of missing even the smallest change on one of the strangest and most historic thoroughfares in the country, the 400-year-old stretch of road known as the Bowery, which has seen more than its share of demolition and transformation in recent years.
Related terms: ischemia, restricted blood flow. Ischemia is a condition where the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a part of the body is restricted. Cardiac ischemia refers to lack of blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle. Cardiac ischemia happens when an artery becomes narrowed or blocked for a short time, preventing oxygen-rich blood from reaching the heart.
Acute limb ischemia is defined as a quickly developing or sudden decrease in limb perfusion, usually producing new or worsening symptoms or signs, and often threatening limb viability . Acute limb ischemia is overwhelmingly related to arterial occlusion, though extensive venous occlusion can lead to limb ischemia as well (ie, phlegmasia), but this is rare. The incidence of acute peripheral arterial occlusion causing acute limb ischemia is approximately 1.5 cases per 10,000 persons per year .
