Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "ischemic" refers to a lack of blood flow and oxygen to tissues, which can lead to hypoxia (low oxygen levels). In the context of the heart, ischemia can occur due to a blockage in the coronary arteries, leading to a heart attack. During this phase, myocardial cells are deprived of oxygen and hypoxia ensues. Choices A, C, and D are not directly related to the physiological process described in the question.
