Chapter 12 Flashcards
vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
arteries
vessels carry de-oxygenated blood to the heart
veins
related to the ventricular relaxation phase of the heart cycle
diastolic
related to the ventricular contraction within the heart
systolic
high blood pressure
hypertension
low blood pressure
hypotension
condition of narrow
stenosis
return of the condition of narrowing
restenosis
a free-floating clot of air, blood, fat, bacteria, or foreign body that could lodge
embolus
a stationary blood clot
thrombus
slow heart rate
bradycardia
a weak and ballooned vessel wall
aneurysm
chest pain
angina pectoris
process or procedure of reconstructing the blood vessel canal to open the lumen
angioplasty
condition of fatty plaque deposits hardening and narrowing arterial walls
atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis
intracardiac arterial tube insertion to measure pressures and evaluate function of the heart
cardiac catheterization
an emergency procedure aimed at restoring ventilation and cardiac functions
cardiopulmonary resuscitation or C.P.R
return to normal heartrate
cardioversion
condition of blueness
cynaosis
profuse perspiration
diaphoresis
fast but incomplete heatrate
fibrillation
excessive/ high blood cholesterol
hypercholestemia
cardiac catheterization
intracardiac catheterization or ccath
insufficient blood/ oxygen to a tissue
ischemia
an obstruction
infarct
the upper number of a blood pressure reading that represents the greatest force of blood from ventricular contraction on a vessel wall (normal=120 mmHg or lower)
systolic
the lower number of a blood pressure reading that represents the least force of blood from ventricular relaxation on a vessel wall (normal=80 mmHg or lower)
diastolic
low blood pressure
hypotension
high blood pressure
hypertension
confluence of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, then heart disease
metabolic syndrome or M.B.S. or syndrome X
blockage or obstruction
occlusion
pale or paleness
pallor
faint or temporary loss of consciousness
syncope
