Chronic Cerebral Ischemia
Both terms, “chronic ischemic stroke” and “chronic cerebral ischemia,” are used in the medical literature, but the choice of terminology may vary among healthcare professionals and researchers. Generally, “chronic ischemic stroke” is more commonly used when specifically referring to a long-term or recurring lack of blood flow to the brain leading to stroke. On the other hand, “chronic cerebral ischemia” may be used more broadly to describe a prolonged reduction in blood supply to the brain, which could include conditions beyond stroke, such as chronic insufficient blood flow without the occurrence of a stroke.
