dilated vein near surface
41
vasospasm
contraction of blood vessel
42
venostasis
blood trapping in extremity from compression
43
cardiac catherterization
process of inserting catheter into heart
44
echocardiogram
heart ultrasound image
45
ECG
record of heart's electrical currents
46
transesophageal echocardiogram
ultrasound by inserting transducer into esophagus
47
vascular endoscopy
procedure that looks into blood vessel
48
diastolic pressure
pressure exerted on vessels when heart is relaxed
49
systolic pressure
pressure exerted on vessels when heart is contracting
50
coronary circulation
blood circulation from heart to heart muscle
51
phlebotomy
drawing blood
52
Afib
spontaneous contraction of atrium muscles
53
atrial septal defect (ASD)
septum flaw that divides the atria
54
congestive cardiomyopathy
not all blood gets pumped and muscle becomes dilated
55
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
heart muscle enlarges and blocks blood flow
56
restrictive cardiomyopathy
heart hardens limiting blood that can be pumped
57
coronary thrombosis
clot blocking coronary artery
58
pericardial effusion
fluid pouring out into the tissue around heart

cardiotonic
drug that increases heart contraction strength
67
vasopresser
drug that narrows blood vessel
68
cardiopulmonary bypass
circulates/oxygenates blood while heart is stopped during surgery
69
