An anti ischemic is an agent that aids in a deficiency of blood supply produced by vasoconstriction or local obstacles to the arterial flow in the body, often referred to as cardiovascular blockage or issues. Anti-ischemic substances are often drugs which classically address the correction or prevention of myocardial ischemia by promoting oxygen delivery with vasodilators such as nitrates and calcium antagonists, and/or reducing myocardial oxygen needs with beta blockers.
Inflamed blood vessels make it harder for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. One study found that CBD has a direct effect on the arteries, helping reduce inflammation. This suggests that CBD can ease strain on the heart, potentially preventing heart failure.
