It is a pathologic process that can reduce or block blood flow to tissues. In cardiology, it is discussed in coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation (AF), and prosthetic valve care. The term is commonly used across emergency medicine, internal medicine, cardiothoracic surgery, and critical care.
