48
arryhthmias
abnormal heart rhthyms
49
bradycardia and heart block
block of SA node from reaching bundle of His, implantation of pacemaker helps overcome
50

rapid but regular contractions, mostly atria
51
atrial fibrilation
very rapid, random contractions of heart, most common fibrilation, anticoagulants help with stroke prevention,
52
palpitation
uncomfortable sensations in chest from missed heartbeats
53
defibrilation
helps treat fibrilation, application of electrical shock to heart, implantable ones ICD, external ones AED
54

79
digital subtraction angiography
video equipment and computer produce x-ray of blood vessels
80
electron beam computed tomography
electron beams and CT scan identify calcium deposits around coronary arteries
81
doppler ultrasound studies
sound waves measure blood flow
82
echocardiogrphy
echoes by high-frequency sound waves produce images of heart
83
positron emission tomography scan
images show blood flow and myocardial infarction following uptake of radioactive glucose
84
technetium Tc 99m sestamibi scan
technetium Tc 99m sestamibi injected and taken up by cardial tissue where detected by scanning
85
thallium 201 scan
concentration of thallium is measure, blood supply to heart
86
cardiac catheterication
catheter into heart by vein or artery
87
electrocardiographgy
recording opf electricty in heart
88
holter monitering
ecg device is worn to detect cardiac arrhthmias
89
stress test
excersise tolerant test determines heart response to stress
90
catheter ablation
brief delivery of radiofrequency energy to try and remove areas of heart tissue causing arrhythmia
91
coronary artery bypass grafting
arteries and veins anastomosed to coronary artieris to detor around blockage
92
