The nerves cells and brain cells have isolating cells around themselves that are called myelin. Demyelination means reduction of the number or size of those cells. Chronic means that the reduction lasts a long time or is permanent. Ischemic means that it is caused by lack of oxygen, which is most often due to bad blood supply.
The condition will reduce the effectiveness of the conduction of nerve impulses or even cause nerve cells to get damaged too.

What is chronic ischemic change?
Chronic microvascular ischemic changes are when there are tiny blood vessels in the brain that have ruptured or clotted. This causes very small strokes.

What does hyperintense signals in the bifrontal subcortical white matter mean?
Hyperintense signals in the bifrontal subcortical white matter on MRI can indicate various conditions such as small vessel ischemic disease, demyelination, or inflammation. Further evaluation and clinical correlation are necessary to determine the underlying cause.
What is microangiopathic ischemic mean in laymens terms?
what is microangiopathic ischemic
What does chronic microangiopathic ischemic changes mean?
Chronic microangiopathic ischemic changes are areas of the brain that show up during radiology, usually MRIs, that depict clotted off or ruptured blood vessels. These are usually related to other serious conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.
What is scattered punctate hyperintensities?
Scattered punctate hyperintensities are small areas of increased signal intensity seen on MRI scans. They are often non-specific findings and can be caused by various conditions such as chronic small vessel ischemic disease, demyelination, or small areas of brain injury. Additional clinical information and correlation with other imaging findings are usually needed to determine the significance of these hyperintensities.
What can cause nonspecific foci of T2 prolongation of the subcortical and periventricular white matter?
Nonspecific foci of T2 prolongation in subcortical and periventricular white matter can be caused by a variety of conditions such as small vessel ischemic disease, chronic microvascular changes, demyelination, or inflammatory processes. It is commonly seen in conditions like small vessel disease, migraine, or chronic microvascular changes related to aging. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the exact cause in each individual case.
my MRI showed "advanced diffuse involutional changes of the brain parenchyma and chronic white matter microvascular ischemic changes" what is the cause and cure?
cancer
Just what is CHR Ischemic hrt dis nos?
This abbreviation stands for Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease Not Otherwise Specified. It refers to a condition where there is reduced blood flow to the heart muscle over time, leading to a lack of oxygen and nutrients. It is a common cause of chest pain and can increase the risk of heart attack.
What is Mild chronic small vessel ischemic changes with hypoattenuation aboout the corona radiate and periventricular white matter of the brain?
Having high blood pressure can greatly increase the possibility of suffering from a stroke or heart attack. An increase of white matter on an MRI scan may help measure both risks. Ischemic changes in white matter, relative to chronic periventricular, are commonly found by examining MRI scans. Ischemic change in white matter can be attributed to diabetes, a high content of fat in the blood and high blood pressure, which all can be attributed to raising the risk of having a stroke.
What does demyelination affect?
The myelin sheath that surrounds the nerve
