abnormally rapid heart rate (of over 100 beats per minute, which may be caused by illness or exercise)
52
hematocytopenia
deficiency of blood cells
53
hematoma
tumor of blood
(swelling caused by an accumulation of clotted blood in the tissues)

anemia
reduction in the amount of hemoglobin in the blood
59
aneurysm
ballooning of a weakened portion of an arterial wall
60
angina pectoris
chest pain, which may radiate to the left arm and jaw, that occurs when there is an insufficient supply of blood to the heart muscle
61
arrhythmia
any variation from the normal heart rhythm
62
cardiac arrest
sudden cessation of cardiac output and effective circulation which requires cardiopulmonary resuscitation
63

coarctation of the aorta
congenital cardiac condition characterized by a narrowing of the aorta
65
congenital heart disease
heart abnormality present at birth
66
congestive heart failure
inability of the heart to pump enough blood through the body to supply the tissues and organs
67
coronary occlusion
obstruction of an artery of the heart, usually from atherosclerosis (also called heart attack)
68
deep vein thrombosis
a condition of thrombus in a deep vein of the body. Iliac and femoral veins are commonly affected
69
embolus, pl. emboli
clot or foreign material, such as air or fat, which enters the bloodstream and moves until it lodges at another point in the circulation
70
