Not sufficiently broad in scope ( what about the history of this condition )
severe head injury may result from brain ischemic? I do not get this.
The treatment section needs to be lengthened ( as I just created it ) as it was combined into the pathophysiology section
What this page is really about is a term that encompassed ischemic stroke and global cerebral ischemia and this needs to be made more clear.
A contrast between cerebral hypoxia and ischemia needs to be made. Ischemia leads to hypoxia. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/anoxia/anoxia.htm Currently this article mixes the two terms up. suffocation and carbon monoxide poisoning do not initially effect perfusion and cause damage via hypoxia
There is mixing of info from one section to another. The pathophysiology section talks about causes etc.
The further reading section contains a reference to information that should be in the article. This detail should be discussed.
Is this a related conditions subcortical ischemic depression or is it personality changes due to muitiple ischemic events which have occured over time? Should be combined into the section on symptoms.
My felling is that most of the info should be on the pages about ischemic strokes and global cerebral hypoxia with this page summursing the other pages. This one than should discuss pathophysiology in great detail and discuss were research is heading. This is a huge topic of huge importance. There is massive amounts of research avaliable thru pubmed.
It should be reperfusion injury not just reperfusion.

I am not the reviewer of this article; but a criterium for GA is suitable pictures. An image with a drawing of a shark' brain does not seem very suitable.--Garrondo (talk) 06:58, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
