Explanation

"No ischemic changes are noted" is a phrase often used in medical reports, particularly those related to heart health. Ischemia refers to a situation where the blood flow (and thus oxygen) is restricted to a part of the body, often due to a blockage in the blood vessels. If a report says "no ischemic changes are noted," it means that the medical professional did not find any signs of restricted blood flow. In simpler terms, it suggests that the part of the body being examined is getting a normal supply of blood and oxygen.
