atherosclerosis
one or more fatty plaques from along the inner walls of the arteries, thicken within time
28
congenital heart disease
present at birth, centers on a malfunction of the heart, allows blood to move between the two atria because of a small opening in the wall separating them
29
atrial septal defect
reduction of blood flow to the lungs
30
atriomegaly
abnormally large atria, reduces ability to push blood into ventricles
31
atrioventricular block
injury to the atrioventricular node (AV node), caused by a myocardial infarction , cells die because of loss of blood flow
32
cardiac arrest
cessation of the heart activity, S (Sudden) CA. little to no warnings,
33
cardiac tamponade
acute compression of the heart due to accumulation of fluid within the pericardial cavity
34
cardiomegaly
abnormal enlargement of the heart, occurs when the heart must work harder to meet oxygen demands
35
cardiomyopathy
disease of the myocardium, gen term. caused by viral/bacterial infection, stress during pregnancy
36
cardiovalvulitis
inflammation of the valves, caused by bacterial infection, leads to deposition of calcium deposits, congenital defects
37
coarctation

38
cor pulmonale (right vent failure)
chronic enlargement and reduced efficiency of the right vent causing backup
39
coronary artery disease
disease that afflicts coronary arteries supplying the heart, caused by atherosclerosis
40
coronary occlusion
blockage within coronary artery, commonly caused by atherosclerosis
41
embolism
blockage that forms when a blood clot or other foreign particle (air or fat) moves through the circulation.
42
endocarditis
inflammation of the endocardium (thin membrane lining inside walls) caused by bacterial infection
43
fibrillation
rapid contractions of the muscle forming the ventricles or atria. (A-Fib). can lodge blood clots in the brain
44
heart block
block or delay of normal electrical conduction of the heart. result of myocardial infarction
45
heart murmur
abnormal sound heart during auscultation
46
hemorrhoids
presence of dilated or varicose veins in the anal region. pain and itching. caused by too much pressure on the veins
47
ischemia
low blood flow to the tissues. caused by occlusion like atherosclerotic plaque
48
myocardial infarction
death of a portion of the myocardium. MI. heart attack
49
myocarditis
inflammation of the myocardium, often caused by bacterial infection
50
patent ductus arteriosus
congenital condition by an opening between the pulmonary artery and aorta due to failure of the fetal vessel
51
pericarditis
inflammation of the pericardium, bacterial infection
52
phlebitis
inflammation of a vein
53
polyarteritis
simultaneous inflammation of many arteries
54
septicemia
bacterial infect of the blood stream. widespread and life threatening
55
tetralogy
congenital disease, 4 defects associated with the heart.
56
thrombosis
presence of blood clots within one or more blood vessels. due to acute myocardial infarction
57
varicosis
abnormally dilated vein.
58
ventricular septal defect
congenital disease, an opening in the septum separating left and right vents
59
angiography
MRI or CT scan images of blood vessels after injection
60
angioplasty
surgical repair of a blood vessel, reopens blocked vessels
61
angioscopy
use of flexible instrument or endoscope, observes diseased vessel to asses any lesions
62
angiostomy
procedure that creates an opening into the vessel
63
angiotomy

listening to internal sounds
68
cardiac catheterization
insertion of tube through a vessel leading to the heart
69
cardiac pacemaker
battery powered device to help control abnormal heart rhythms
70
coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
removing a blood vessel from another part of the body and inserting it into the coronary circulation
71
coronary stent
insertion of metallic scaffold to support another bv, compress plaque, or help circulation.
72
doppler sonography
ultrasound that evaluates blood flow through vessel, problems in blood flow, or monitor puls from peripheral arteries
73
echocardiology (Stress ECHO)
ultrasound that directs sound waves through the heart to observe and evaluate heart functiin
