Q
Valve
A
Structure in veins or in the heart that temporarily closes an opening so that blood flows in only one direction.

Vein
A
Thin-walled vessel that carries blood from body tissues and lungs back to the heart. Veins contain valves to prevent back-flow of blood.

36
Peri-
Surrounding
37
Death of tissue due to lack of oxygen is called....
Infarction
38
Dual-chamber, rate-responsive pacemaker
Is designed to detect body movement and automatically increase or decrease pace heart rates based on levels of physical activity
39
Flutter
Rapid but regular contractions, usually of the atria. (Heart rate can reach up to 300 beats per minute)
40
Fibrillation
Very rapid, random, inefficient and irregular contractions of the heart (350 beats or more per minute).
41
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA)
Narrowing (coarctation) of the aorta.
42
Congestive heart failure (CHF)
Heart is unable to pump its required amount of blood.
43
Coronary artery disease (CAD)
Disease of the arteries surrounding the heart. CAD is usually the result of atherosclerosis.
44
Blood flow decreased is called...
Ischemia
45
Blood flow stopped entirely, leading to death is called....
Necrosis.
46
Endocarditis
Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart.
47
Hypertensive heart disease
High blood pressure affecting the heart
48
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP)
Improper closure of the mitral valve.
49
Murmur
Extra heart sound, heard between normal beats.
50
Pericarditis
Inflammation of the membrane (pericardium) surrounding the heart.
51
Rheumatic heart disease
Heart disease caused y rheumatic fever.
52
Aneurysm
Local widening (dilation) of an arterial wall.
53
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Blood clot (thrombus) forms in a large vein, usually in the lower limbs.
54
Hypertension (HTN)
Excessive high blood pressure.
55
Secondary hypertension
The increase in the pressure is caused by another associated lesion.
56
Peripheral arterial disease
Blockage of arteries carrying blood to the legs, arms, kidneys and other organs.
57
Varicose veins
Abnormally swollen and twisted veins, usually occurring in the legs.
58
Hemorrhoids
Varicose veins near the anus.
59
Lipid tests (lipid profile)
Measurement of cholesterol and triglycerides (fats) in a blood sample.
60
Lipoprotein electrophoresis
Lipoproteins (combinations of fat and protein) are physically separated and measured in a blood complete.
61
Angiography
X-ray imaging of blood vessels after injection of contrast material.
62
Echocardiography (ECHO)
Echoes generated by high-frequency sound waves produce images of the heart.
63
Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
Images show blood flow and myocardial function following uptake of radioactive glucose.
64
Cardiac catheterization
Thin, flexible tube is guided into the heart via a vein or an artery.
65
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
Recording of electricity flowing through the heart.
66
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
Arteries and veins are anastomosed to coronary arteries to detours around blockage.
67
Defibrillation
Brief discharges of electricity are applied across the chest to stop dysrhythmias.
68
Endarterectomy
Surgical removal of plaque from the inner layer of an artery.
69
Extracorporeal circulation
Heart-lung machine diverts blood from the heart and lungs while the heart is repaired.
70
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
Balloon-tipped catheter is inserted into a coronary artery to open the artery; stents are put in place.
71
Drug-eluding stents (DESs)
Coated with polymers that elite (release) anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative drugs to prevent scar tissue formation leading to restenosis.
