bicuspid valve
| between left ventricle and left atrium
26
systole

-ia
condition
51
venous, ventricular, venular
pertaining to a vein, ventricle, and venule
52
-stenosis
narrowing
53
embolus
obstruction of blood vessel by blood clot
54
infarct
area of tissue within organ that undergoes necrosis following loss of its blood supply
55
ischemia
Localized and temporary deficiency of blood supply due to obstruction to circulation
56
plaque
Yellow, fatty deposit of lipids in artery that is hallmark of atherosclerosis
57
palpitations
Pounding, racing heartbeats
58
murmur
A sound, in addition to normal heart sounds
59
thrombus
blood clot formimg within blood vessel
60
cardiomyopathy
general term for disease of myocardium
61
anGIna PECtoris
condition in which there is severe pain with sensation of construction around heart
62
congenital septal defect
hole, present at birth, in septum resulting in mixture of bloods
63
congestive heart failure
Pathological condition of heart in which there is reduced outflow of blood from left side of heart because left ventricle myocardium has become too weak to efficiently pump blood; results in weakness, breathlessness, and edema
64
myocardial infarction
Condition caused by partial or complete occlusion or closing of one or more of coronary arteries
65
bundle branch block (BBB)
Occurs when electrical impulse is blocked from traveling down bundle of His or bundle branches; heart block
66
fibrillation (fib)
Extremely serious arrhythmia
67
aneurysm
weakness in wall of artery resulting in localized widening of artery
68
HEMorrhoid
varicose veins in anal region
69
Raynaud’s phenomenon
periodic ischemic attack
