51
the branch of medicine involving diagnosis and treatment of conditions and diseases of the cardiovascular system
cardiology
52
inflammation of a vessel
angiitis
53
an involuntary muscle contraction of the smooth muscle in the wall of a vessel; narrows the vessel
angiospasm
54
the narrowing of a vessel
angiostenosis
55
the condition of having a slow heart rate
bradycardia
56
the obstruction of a blood vessel by a blood clot that has broken off a thrombus
embolus
57
an area of tissue within an organ or part that undergoes necrosis following the loss of blood supply
infarct
58
the localized and temporary deficiency of blood supply due to an obstruction to the circulation
ischemia
59
The sudden drop in blood pressure a person experiences when standing straight up suddenly
orthostatic hypotension
60
pounding, racing heartbeats
palpatations
61
a yellow, fatty deposit of lipids in an artery that is the hallmark of atherosclerosis
plaque
62
the condition of having a fast heart rate
tachycardia
63
a . blood clot forming within a blood vessel
thrombus
64
condition in which there is severe pain with a sensation of constriction around the heart
angina pectoris
65
irregualrity in the heartbeat or action
arrhythmia
66
occurs when the electrical impulse is blocked from traveling down the bundle of His or bundle branches
bundle branch block (BBB) aka heart block
67
complete stopping of heart activity
cardiac arrest
68
an enlarged heart
cardiomegaly
69
general term for ta disease of the myocardium
cardiomyopathy
70
a hole, present at birth, in the septum between two heart chambers; results in a mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood
congenital septal defect (CSD)
there can be an atrial septal defect (ASD) and a ventricular septal defect (VSD)
71
pathological condition of the heart in which there is a reduced outflow of blood from the left side of the heart because the left ventricle myocardium has become too weak to efficiently pump blood
congestive heart failure (CHF)
72
insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle due to an obstruction of one or more coronary arteries.
coronary artery disease (CAD)
73
inflammation of the lining membranes of the heart
endocarditis
74
an extremely serious arrhythmia characterized by an abnormal quivering or contraction of heart fibers
fibrilation
75
condition in which the cusps or flaps of the heart valve are too loose and fail to shut tightly
heart valve prolapse
76
condition in which the cusps or flaps of the heart valve are too stiff and are unable to open fully
heart valve stenosis
77
condition caused by the partial or complete occlusion or closing of one or more of the coronary arteries.
myocardial infarction
78
inflammation of the pericardial sac around the heart
pericarditis
79
combination of four congenital anomalies; pulmonary stenosis, an interventricular septal defect, improper placement of aorta, and hypertrophy of the right ventricle
tetralogy of Fallot
80
inflammation of a heart valve
valvulitis
81
weakness in the wall of an artery resulting in localized widening of the artery
aneurysm
82
severe congenital narrowing of the aorta
coarctation of the aorta (CoA)
83
the formation of a blood clot in a vein deep in the body, most commonly in the legs.
deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
84
blood pressure (BP) above the normal range.
hypertension (HTN)
85
decrease in blood pressure
hypotension
86
congenital heart anomaly in which the fetal connection between the pulmonary artery and the aorta fails to close at birth
patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)
87
any abnormal condition affecting blood vessels outside the heart.
peripheral vascular disease (PVD)
