helpful in examining blood flow in the heart and blood vessels. Patient is injected with radioactive element which becomes concentrated in the heart and color coded images produced

condition characterized by weakness, breathlessness, and edema in lower portions of the body; the work demanded of the heart is greater than its ability to perform

CHF

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

abnormal condition that affects the heart’s arteries and produces various pathology effects, especially the reduced flow of blood to the myocardium

coronary artery disease

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

severe cardiac arrhythmia in which contractions are too rapid and uncoordinated for effective blood circulation.

fibrillation

Perfectly

excessive lipids in the blood. an elevated blood level of one type of lipid, cholesterol, is associated with an increased risk of developing coronary heart disease in most individuals

hyperlipidemia

necrosis of a localized area of tissue caused by lack of blood supply to that area.

infarction

obstruction

occlusion

narrowing

stenosis

death of an area of the heart muscle that occurs as a result of oxygen deprivation.

myocardial infarction

deficiency of blood supply to the myocardium

myocardial ischemia

tumors consisting primarily of blood vessels

tumors consisting principally of lymph vessels

lymphangiomas

radiography of the aorta

arteriography

radiography of arteries

angicardiography

radiography of the heart and great vessels after intravenous injection of a radiopaque solution

angiography

general term for radiography of vessels

thrombus

internal blood clot

sudden blocking of an artery or lymph vessel by foreign material that has been brought to the site of blockage by circulating blood

embolism

swollen and knotted veins

varicose

method used to divert blood away from the heart and lungs temporarily when surgery of the heart and major vessels is performed

cardiopulmonary bypass

automatic implanted device that detects sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation and delivers low energy shock to the heart
