ischaemic = lack of blood flow/ oxygen to a certain body part/tissue.
Ischemic Heart Disease= structural issue (such as narrowed arteries) meaning poor blood and oxygen delivery to the heart muscle.
Glad you're doing ok. There is a lot of info on BHF website & their booklets about IHD & Angina. I have the same & also bought some good books about i them on Amazon. Best of luck. Clare
