Explain the Stagnant or Ischemic Hypoxia
It is a hypoxia resulting from slow peripheral circulation (such as follows congestive cardiac failure). In this, the blood flow to the tissues is so low that an adequate amount of oxygen is not delivered to it, inspite of having a normal pO2 and haemoglobin concentration. The liver and the brain are damaged by stagnant hypoxia in congestive heart failure.
