A

Angina Pectoris

30
Q

caused by insufficient blood supply to the heart.

A

Angina Pectoris

31
Q

A localized abnormal dilatation of a blood vessel, usually an artery caused by weakness of the vessel wall; may eventually burst.

A

Q

Any abnormality in the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat

A

33
Q

Arrhythmia also called as

A

dysrhythmia

34
Q

Failure of the coronary arteries to deliver an adequate supply of blood to the myocardium.

A

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

35
Q

-Localized necrosis of cardiac muscle tissue resulting from blockage or narrowing of the coronary artery that supplies that area.

A

Myocardial Infarction

36
Q

An inflammation of the inner lining of the heart and its valves.

A

Endocarditis

37
Q

It may be non-infective in nature, caused by thrombi formation, or infective, caused by various microorganism.

A

Endocarditis

38
Q

Dilatation of a sclerotic blood vessel by means of a balloon catheter inserted into the vessel and then inflated and flaten plaque against the arterial wall.

A

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)

39
Q

An opening in the septum between the atria or ventricles;

A

Septal defects

40
Q

a common cause is persistence of the foramen ovale.

A

Septal defects

41
Q

Persistence of the ductus arteriosus after birth.

42
Q

Localized narrowing of the aorta with restriction of the blood flow.

A

44
Q

Varicose Vein also called

A

varix or varicosity.

45
Q

A non-invasive method that uses ultrasound to visualize internal cardiac structures.

A

Echocardiography

46
Q

Graphic line recording that shows the spread of electrical excitation to different parts of the heart using small metal electrodes applied to the chest, arms and legs.

A

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

47
Q

ECG taken under controlled exercise stress conditions.

Stress Test

48
Q

ECG taken with a small portable system capable of storing up to 24 hours of ECG tracings.

A

Holter Monitor Test

49
Q

Procedure to restore normal rhythm of the heart by applying a controlled electrical shock to the exterior shock to the exterior chest.

A

Cardioversion

50
Q

A small battery-operated device that helps your heart beat in a regular rhythm.

A

Pacemaker

51
Q

It does this with a small electric stimulation that helps your heart to beat regularly.

A

Pacemaker

52
Q

It uses batteries to send electric signals to a heart that’s beating too slow, same as a pacemaker.

A

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator(ICD)

53
Q

It can also deliver an electric shock to help restore a normal heartbeat to a heart that’s beating chaotically and much too fast.

A

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator(ICD)

54
Q

Technique used to block flow to a site by passing a catheter to the area and injecting a synthetic material or medication specially designed to occlude the blood vessel.
