hypoperfusion

Hypoperfusion refers to reduced blood flow to a part of the body or an organ. This diminishes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients necessary for tissue health and function. It can result from conditions like low blood pressure, heart failure, or blood vessel blockages. When tissues receive inadequate blood flow, they may become damaged or function poorly. Recognizing hypoperfusion is important because it can lead to serious complications if left untreated, and it often signals that the body's circulatory system needs support to restore adequate blood supply.
