Blue toe syndrome, the Glossary
Blue toe syndrome is a situation that may reflect atherothrombotic microembolism, causing transient focal ischaemia, occasionally with minor apparent tissue loss, but without diffuse forefoot ischemia.[1]

Cholesterol embolism
Cholesterol embolism occurs when cholesterol is released, usually from an atherosclerotic plaque, and travels as an embolus in the bloodstream to lodge (as an embolism) causing an obstruction in blood vessels further away.
See Blue toe syndrome and Cholesterol embolism
Echocardiography
Echocardiography, also known as cardiac ultrasound, is the use of ultrasound to examine the heart.
See Blue toe syndrome and Echocardiography
Embolism
An embolism is the lodging of an embolus, a blockage-causing piece of material, inside a blood vessel.
See Blue toe syndrome and Embolism
Ischemia
Ischemia or ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to any tissue, muscle group, or organ of the body, causing a shortage of oxygen that is needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive).
