angiitis
inflammation of a vessel
66
angiospasm
involuntary contraction of smooth muscle in the wall of a vessel; constricts vessel
67
angiostenosis
narrowing of a vessel
68
bradycardia
a slow heart rate, typically >60 beats/min
69
embolus
obstruction of blood vessels by blood clot that has broken off from a thrombus in another site

infarct
area of necrotic tissue due to loss of blood supply

to flow backwards; in CV system, refers to backflow of blood through a valve
77
tachycardia
