Ischaemia refers to the reduced flow of blood to an organ or tissue. Depending on the tissue or organ affected, ischaemia can present in several ways. Ischaemia to the myocardium (heart muscle) presents as an acute coronary syndrome such as angina or myocardial infarction (heart attack); our Expert Witnesses in cardiology are able to opine on such matters. Ischaemia resulting from a blood clot in the blood vessels of the lower limb can present as critical limb ischaemia; our Expert Witnesses in vascular surgery can opine on such matters. Ischaemia of the brain presents as an ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack.
