Multiple cerebral ischemic events may lead to subcortical ischemic depression, also known as vascular depression.

When someone presents with an ischemic event, treatment of the underlying cause is critical for prevention of further episodes.

After such an injury, the patient may remain asymptomatic, have a hemispheric transient ischemic event, or suffer a stroke.

The most common cause in this category is fainting associated with an acute myocardial infarction or ischemic event.

Current anti-anginal drugs, aiming to prevent ischemic events resulting from angina, fail to completely relieve symptoms without further cardiovascular effects (Vacher et al., 2009).

This can cause a compression (while turning the head) or a dissection of the carotid artery causing a transient ischemic event or a stroke.

SFRP1 has been shown to have a role in new vascularization after an ischemic event and as a potent angiogenic factor.

Preliminary and as yet unpublished surveys of the methadone treated population point to a high degree of protection from myocardial ischemic events.

Other conditions in which cataplexy can be seen include ischemic events, multiple sclerosis, head injury, paraneoplastic syndromes, and infections such as encephalitis.

Its primary advantage over prior treatment methods is its ability to clear clots as long as 8 hours after the ischemic event.
