Chapter 11 Flashcards
angio
vessel
aorto
aorta
angiogram
record of vessel
aortic stenosis
narrowing of the aorta
artero, arterio
artery
arteriosclerosis
hardening of the artery
arteriography
process of recording the artery
endarterectomy
removal the inside of the artery
atheroma
collections of plaque that protrude into the lumen (opening) of an artery.
-oma
mass or collection.
atherosclerosis
yellow plaque (atheromas) containing cholesterol and lipids are found within the lining of the artery.
atrio
atrium, upper heart chamber
atrial
pt to atrium
atrioventricular
pt atrium and ventricle
brachio
arm
brachial artery
arm artery
cardio
heart
cardiomegaly
enlargement of the heart
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
abnormal thickening of heart muscle, usually in the left ventricle. The ventricle has to work harder to pump blood. The condition may be inherited or develop over time bc of high blood pressure or aging.
bradycardia
slower than 60 beats per minute. Normal pulse is about 60 to 80 beats per minute.
tachycardia
faster than 100 beats per minute
supraventricular tachycardia
rapid beats coming from the atria (above the ventricles) and causing palpitation (abnormal sensations in the chest)
palpitation
đánh trống ngực
cardiogenic shock
results from failure of the heart in its pumping action. Shock is circulatory failure associated with inadequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients to body tissues.
cholesterolo
cholesterol (a lipid substance)
hypercholesterolemia
Statins are drugs that work by blocking a key enzyme in the production of cholesterol by the liver.
corono
heart
coronary arteries
these arteries come down over the top of the heart like a crown
cyano
blue
cyanosis
this bluish discoloration of the skin indicates diminished oxygen content of the blood
myxo
mucus
myxoma
a benign tumor derived from connective tissue, with cells embedded in soft mucoid stromal tissue. These rare tumors occur most frequently
oxo
oxygen
hypoxia
inadequate oxygen in tissues. Anoxia is an extreme form of hypoxia.
pericardio
pericardium
phlebo
vein
phlebotomy
incision of vein
thrombophlebitis
shortened to phlebitis. If the affected vein is deep within a muscle, the condition is deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
rrhythmo
rhythm
arrhythmia
dysrhythmia is also used to describe an abnormal heart rhythm,
chứng loạn nhịp tim
sphygmo
pulse
stetho
chest
sphygmomanometer
\ ˌsfig-mō-mə-ˈnä-mə-tər \
a manometer measures pressure
stethoscope
a medical instrument for detecting sounds produced in the body that are conveyed to the ears of the listener through rubber tubing connected with a piece placed upon the area to be examined
auscultation
\ ˌȯ-skəl-ˈtā-shən \
listening to sounds within the body, typically using a stethoscope
thrombo
clot
thrombolysis
breakdown the clot
valvulo, valvo
valve
valvuloplasty
a balloon-tipped catheter dilates a cardiac valve.
mitral valvulitis
commonly associated with rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease caused by inadequate treatment of a streptococcal infection. An autoimmune reaction occurs, leading to inflammation and damage to heart valves.
valvotomy
incision of the heart valve
vaso
vessel
vasoconstriction
tighen or narrow the vessel
vasodilation
enlarging the vessel
vasculo
vessel
veno, veni
vein
venous
pt vein
venipuncture
this procedure is performed for phlebotomy or to start an intravenous infusion.
ventriculo
ventricle, lower heart chamber
interventricular septum
vách gian tâm thất
septa
the four chambers of the four chambers of the heart are separated by partitions
interatrial septum
separates the two upper chambers (atria)
interventriclular septum
a muscular wall, comes between the two lower chambers (ventricles)
