Q

cardiac catheterization (endoscope)

A

allows internal parts of the heart to be viewed by passing long, flexible tube into chambers of the heart (via femoral vein) and advanced with endoscopic equipment. Usually right side of patient is examined first

25
arrhythmia or dysrhythmia
irregularity or loss of rhythm of the heartbeat
26
cardiomegaly
enlargement of the heart
27
congenital heart defects
abnormalities present in the heart at birth
28
coronary artery disease (CAD)
abnormal condition that affects heart's arteries and produces various effects (like reduced blood flow to myocardium)
29
coronary heart disease (CHD)
heart damage resulting from insufficient oxygen caused by pathology in the arteries
30
fibrillation defibrillation defibrillator
severe cardiac arrhythmia where blood circulation is affected used to slow the heart or restore rhythm electronic device that shocks the heart using electrodes
31
heart murmur
soft blowing or rasping sound
32
hyperlipidemia
escessive lipis in the blood
33
hypertension
elevated BP
34
hypotension
low BP
35
infarction
necrosis of a localized area cause by lack of blood supply
36
occlusion
obstruction
37
stenosis
narrowing
38
shock
blood flow is reduced to such an extent that body tissues do not receive enough blood
39
angiomas
tumors consisting principally of blood vessels (hemangioma) or lymph vessels (lymphangioma)
40
aortography
radiography of the aorta after the injection of a contrast medium to enhance image of heart xray
41
aneurysm
ballooning out of the wall of a vessel
42
thrombus
internal boodclot
43
emoblism
sudden blocking of an artery or lymph vessel by foreign material
44
varicose veins
swollen and knotted veins occurring most often in legs, resulting from defective valves that allow blood to pool
45
hemorrhoids
masses of dilated varicose veins in anal canal
46
cardiopulmonary bypass
temporarily diverting blood away from heart and lungs during surgery
47
cardioversion
restoring heart's normal rhythm using electrical shock
48
nitroglycerin
coronary vasodilator
49
diuretics
act to reduce blood volume through greater water excretion by kidneys
50
atherectomy
cutting away plaque from lining of artery
51
coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
sections of blood vessels are grafted onto coronary arteries to bypass blocked arteries (when blockage is too severe for balloon angioplasty)
52
lymphedema
accumulation of lymph in tissue and resultant swelling
53
lymphadenitis
inflammation of the lymph nodes
54
pericardium
outer layer of the heart, a sac that encloses it
55
myocardium
middle muscle layer of the heart
56
endocardium
innermost layer
57
ventricular septal defect
a defect in the ventricular septum, the wall dividing the left and right ventricles of the heart
58
myocardial infarction
necrosis of a portion of cardiac muscle (can result from obstruction/occlusion or stenosis/narrowing of the artery). Called a heart attack
59
angiography
radiographic examination of a vessel
60
arteriography
radiography of the arteries after injecting contrast medium
61
angiocardiography
radiography of the heart and great vessels after injection of a contrast medium
62
hemorrhagic stroke
blood vessel bursts and allows blood to seep into brain tissue
63
thrombotic stroke
blood flow is blocked, plaque can cause a blood clot to form
64
embolic (embolitic stroke)
a blood clot or other embolus reaches an artery in the brain, lodges there and blocks the flow of blood
65
artificial cardiac pacemaker
battery-operated pacemaker using rhythmic electrical discharges is implanted in the chest wall to facilitate a normal cardiac rhythm
66
balloon angioplasty
balloon is inflated inside an artery to flatten plaque against wall
67
stent
expendable, mesh-like tube and placed over the angioplasty site to keep artery open
68
adenoid/o
adenoids
69
cervic/o
neck, or uterine cervix
70
home/o
sameness
71
lymphat/o
lymphatics
72
splen/o
spleen
73
thromb/o
thrombus, blood clot
