Ischemia is a restriction in blood supply, generally due to factors in the blood vessels, with resultant damage or dysfunction of tissue.
So, if your report is directed towards brain then
437.1 ( Ischemia --> cerebral )
And if directed towards heart then
414.9 ( Ischemia --> heart )
Hope this helps!
