Q

Pulmonary Semilunar valve

A

Located between right ventricle and pulmonary artery. When right ventricle has emptied, this valve closes in order to prevent back flow into the right ventricle.

Q

Bundle of His

A

consists of wide, fast-conducting muscle fibers that carry the cardiac impulse through the insulating annulus fibrosus into the fibrous upper part of the ventricular septum.

Q

Purkinje Fibers

A

are part of the specialized conduction network of the heart that ensures that the wave of excitation spreads rapidly and almost synchronously to the ventricular muscle mass.

blood clots that travel to the lungs from deep veins in the legs or, rarely, from veins in other parts of the body

33
Q

Myocardial Infarction

A

HEART ATTACK

34
Q

Degenerative Heart Disease

Due to deterioration of tissue such

as valves and muscle.HAPPENS WITH AGEING

35
Q

Valvular Insufficiency

Q

Various Drugs FOR TREATMENT

A

ANTICOAGULANTS, VASODILATORS,VASOCONSTRICTORS,COAGULANTS

39
Q

Surgery FOR TREATMENT

A
  • -CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT(REFERRED TO AS A CABAGE)
  • PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY ANGIOPLASTY: use of a balloon catheter to widen a coronary artery. The catheter is inserted into another artery, passed back along it to the affected one, and then inflated.
  • PACEMAKER:FIXES ELECTRIAL CONDUCTION WITHIN THE HEART
