30

Tumors of the thymus gland
31
Acute coronary syndrome(ACS)
sudden symptoms of insufficient blood supply to
the heart indicating unstable angina or acute
myocardial infarction
32
Aneurysm
ballooning of a weakened portion of an arterial wall
33
Angina pectoris
chest pain, which may radiate to the left arm and
jaw, that occurs when there is an insufficient supply
of blood to the heart muscle.
34
Arrhythmia
any disturbance or abnormality in the heart’s
normal rhythmic pattern
35
Atrial fibrillation (AFib)
cardiac arrhythmia characterized by chaotic, rapid electrical
impulses in the atria. The atria quiver instead of contracting,
causing irregular ventricular response and the ejection of a
reduced amount of blood from both the atria and ventricles.
The blood that remains in the atria becomes static,
increasing the risk of clot formation, which may lead to a
stroke. Two types of AFib are paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
(PAF), which is intermittent, and chronic atrial fibrillation,
which is sustained
36
Cardiac arrest
sudden cessation of cardiac output and effective circulation,
which requires cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
37
Cardiac tamponade
acute compression of the heart caused by fluid
accumulation in the pericardial cavity
38
Coarctation of the aorta
congenital cardiac condition characterized by a narrowing
of the aorta
39
Congenital heart disease
Heart abnormality present at birth
40
Coronary artery disease(CAD)
condition that reduces the flow of blood through the
coronary arteries to the myocardium that may progress
to denying the heart tissue sufficient oxygen and
nutrients to function normally; most often caused by
coronary atherosclerosis. CAD is a common cause of
heart failure or myocardial infarction.
41
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
condition of thrombus in a deep vein of the body. Most
often occurs in the lower extremities. A clot, or part of a
clot, can break off and travel to the lungs, causing a
pulmonary embolism.
42
Heart failure (HF)
condition in which there is an inability of the heart to
pump enough blood through the body to supply the
tissues and organs with nutrients and oxygen (also called
congestive heart failure [CHF])
43
Hypertension heart disease (HHD)
disorder of the heart caused by persistent high blood
pressure
44
Intermittent claudication
pain and discomfort in calf muscles while walking; a
condition seen in peripheral arterial disease.
45
Ischaemia
condition of deficient blood flow due to constriction
or obstruction of a blood vessel. Myocardial ischemia,
or deficient blood to the heart muscle through
coronary arteries, is most commonly caused by
vessel constriction due to atherosclerosis and can
lead to myocardial infarction.
46
Mitral valve stenosis
narrowing of the mitral valve from scarring, usually
caused by episodes of rheumatic fever
47
Myocardial infarction (MI)
death (necrosis) of a portion of the myocardium
caused by lack of oxygen resulting from an
interrupted blood supply (also called heart attack)
48
Peripheral Arterial disease (PAD)
disease of the arteries in the arms and legs, resulting
in narrowing or complete obstruction of the artery.
This is caused most commonly by atherosclerosis,
but occasionally by inflammatory diseases, emboli, or
thrombus formation. The most common symptom of
peripheral arterial disease is intermittent
claudication. (also called peripheral vascular disease
[PVD])
49
Rheumatic heart disease
damage to the heart muscle or heart valves caused by
one or more episodes of rheumatic fever
50
Varicose veins
distended or tortuous veins usually found in the
lower extremities
51
Anemia
condition in which there is a reduction in the number
of erythrocytes. Anemia may be caused by blood loss or
decrease in the production or increase in the destruction
of red blood cells.
52
Embolus
blood clot or foreign material, such as air or fat, that
enters the bloodstream and moves until it lodges at
another point in the circulation
53
Hemophilia
inherited bleeding disease most commonly caused by a
deficiency of the coagulation factor VIII
54
Leukemia
malignant disease characterized by excessive increase in
abnormal leukocytes formed in the bone marrow.
55
Sepsis
condition in which pathogenic microorganisms, usually
bacteria, enter the bloodstream, causing a systemic
inflammatory response to the infection (also called
septicemia)
56
Hodgkin disease
malignant disorder of the lymphatic tissue characterized
by progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, usually
beginning in the cervical nodes
57
Infectious mononucleosis
acute infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus
characterized by swollen lymph nodes, sore throat,
fatigue, and fever. The disease affects mostly young
people and is usually transmitted by saliva.
58
Angioplasty
Surgical repair of blood vessels
59
Atherectomy
excision of fatty plaque (from a blocked artery using a
specialized catheter and a rotary cutter)
60
Endarterectomy
excision within the artery (excision of plaque from the
arterial wall). This procedure is usually named for the
artery to be cleaned out, such as carotid endarterectomy,
which means removal of plaque from the wall of the
carotid artery
61
Pericardiocentesis
surgical puncture to aspirate fluid from the sac surrounding
the heart (pericardium) (used to remove fluid or air,
usually to relieve cardiac tamponade)
62
Phlebectomy
Excision of the a vein
63
Valvuloplasty
Surgical repair of the valves (cardiac or venous )
64
Splenopexy
Surgical fixation of the spleen
65
Thymectomy
Excision of the thymus gland
