Meanings

1. Characteristic of, or accompanied by, ischemia — localised anaemia due to mechanical obstruction of the blood supply, creating a local disturbance in blood circulation.
   • Dr. Salazar was a fast talker, devoid of personality. Lolly's vitals had stabilised, she said. Her stroke was ischemic, caused by a clot rather than a rupture. She'd come in exhibiting classic symptoms: weakness on her left side, double vision, aphasia. "What's aphasia?" I said. "A disconnect between what the patient's trying to say and what's being communicated. For instance, Louella thinks to herself, I'm thirsty. I want more ice chips. But when she verbalises it, it comes out as gibberish." 2008, Wally Lamb, The Hour I First Believed, Ch.3, at p.59
