How is it that the oximeter can show acceptable levels of oxygen when we are struggling with Ischaemia? Does microvascular ischaemia not show on an Oximeter?

Ischemia is a  condition of the cardiac muscle precipitated by local mechanisms. It is not directly related to hypoxia in the systemic circulation,  with the possible exception of rare and dramatic conditions of systemic severe hypoxia.
