Ventricle
A blood vessel that carries oxygen-poor blood from heart to lungs
Pulmonary artery
Contraction phase of the heartbeat
Systole
Located between the left upper quadrant and lower chambers of the heart
Mitral valve
Saclike membrane surrounding the heart
Pericardium
Sensitive tissue in the right atrium wall that begins the heartbeat
Sinoatrial node (SA node)
Blood vessels branching from the aorta to carry oxygen rich blood to the heart muscle

Removal of the inner lining of the artery (when it is filled with plague)
Endarterectomy
Collection of fatty material in an artery
Atheroma
Hardening of arteries with deposit of fatty substance
Atherosclerosis
Removal of a fatty mass in a vessel
Atherectomy
Pertaining to an upper chamber of the heart
Atrial
Pertaining to an atrium and ventricle (upper and lower chambers of the heart)
Atrioventricular
Artery that branches from the aorta to bring blood to the arm
Brachial artery
Enlargement of the heart
Cardiomegaly
Disease of heart muscle
Cardiomyopathy
Condition of slow heartbeat
Bradycardia
Condition of fast heartbeat

Condition of excessive cholesterol in the blood
Hypercholesterolemia
Arteries branch from the aorta to bring oxygen rich blood to the heart muscle
Coronary arteries
Abnormal condition of bluish discoloration due to poor oxygenation of blood
Cyanosis
Benign tumor of the heart
Myxoma
Condition of decreased oxygen in inspired air; as occurs in high altitudes
Hypoxia
Surgical puncture of the membrane surrounding the heart (to remove fluid)
Pericardiocentesis
Incision of a vein with clots
Thrombophlebitis
Arrhythmia and dysthymia are used to describe abnormal heart rhythm
Arrhythmia
Instrument to measure blood pressure

Venipuncture
The wall separating the ventricles of the heart (lower chambers)
Interventricular septum
The pacemaker of the heart is the
Sinoatrial node
The sac like membrane surrounding the heart is the
Pericardium
The contractive phase of the heartbeat is called
Systole
The relaxation phase of the heartbeat is called
Diastole
Abnormal heart sound caused by improper closure of the heart valves is
Murmur
