Unique ID: D002545
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D002545
Annotation: ISCHEMIC ATTACK, TRANSIENT is available
Scope Note: Localized reduction of blood flow to brain tissue due to arterial obstruction or systemic hypoperfusion. This frequently occurs in conjunction with brain hypoxia (HYPOXIA, BRAIN). Prolonged ischemia is associated with BRAIN INFARCTION.
