abnormal heart rhythms (dysrhythmias)
arrhythmias
failure of proper conduction of impulses from SA node thru AV node to the atrioventricular bundle (bundle of His)
bradycardia and heart block (atrioventricular block)
rapid but regular contractions, usually of the atria
flutter
very rapid, random, inefficient, and irregular contractions of the heart (350 beats or more per minute)
fibrillation
abnormalities in the heart at birth
congenital heart disease
narrowing (coarctation) of the aorta
coarctation of the aorta (CoA0
passageway (ductus arteriosus) between aorta and pulmonary artery remains open (patent) after birth
patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)
small holes in wall between atria (atrial septal defects) or the ventricles (ventricular septal defects)
septal defects
congenital malformation involving four (tetra) distinct heart defects
tetralogy of fallot
heart is unable to pump its required amount of blood
congestive heart failure (chf)
disease of arteries surrounding the heart
coronary artery disease (cad)
inflammation of the inner lining of the heart
endocarditis
high blood pressure affecting heart
hypertensive heart disease
improper closure of the mitral valve
mitral valve prolapse (mvp)
extra heart sound, heard between normal beats
murmur
inflammation of membrane (pericardium) surrounding heart
pericarditis
heart disease caused by rheumatic fever
rheumatic heart disease
local widening of an arterial wall
aneurysm
blood clot forms in large vein, usually in lower limb
deep vein thrombosis (dvt)
high blood pressure
hypertension (htn)
blockage of arteries carrying blood to legs, arms, kidneys, and other organs
peripheral arterial disease (pad)
recurrent episodes of pallor and cyanosis primarily in fingers and toes
raynaud disease (raynaud’s)
abnormally swollen and twisted veins, usually occuring in the legs
varicose veins
measurement of bnp (brain natriueretic peptide) in blood
bnp test
chemicals are measured in blood as evidence of heart attack
cardiac biomarkers
measurement of cholesterol and triglycerides (fats) in a blood sample
lipid tests (lipid profile)
lipoproteins (combo of fat and protein) are physically separated and measured in blood sample
lipoprotein electrophoresis
xray of blood vessels after contrast material injection
angiography
3d xray of the heart and coronary arteries using computed tomography
computed tomography angiography (cta)
videos equipment and computer produce xray images of blood vessels
digital subtraction angiography (dsa)
electron beams and ct identify calcium deposits in and around coronary arteries to diagnose early cad
electron beam computed tomography (ebct or ebt)
sound waves measure blood flow within blood vessels
doppler ultrasound studies
echoes generated by high frequency sound waves produce images of the heart
echocardiography (echo)
images show blood flow and myocardial function following uptake of radioactive glucose
positron emission tomography (pet) scan
