28
anemia
Condition in which there is reduction in the number of erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells).
29
aneurysm
Condition in which there is a ballooning of a weakened portion of the arterial wall.
30
blood pressure (BP)
Pressure exerted by the blood against the blood vessel walls;
A blood pressure measurement written as systolic pressure (120) and diastolic pressure, commonly recorded as 120/18 mm HG.
31
cardiac catheterization
Diagnostic procedure performed by passing a catheter into the heart from a blood vessel in the groin or arm to examine the condition of the heart and surrounding vessels.
32
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
Emergency procedure consisting of artificial ventilation and external cardiac compressions.
33
complete blood count (CBC)
Laboratory test for basic blood screening that measures various aspects of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes (platelets).
34
coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
Surgical technique to bring a new blood supply to the heart muscle (myocardium) by detouring around blocked arteries.
35
coronary artery disease (CAD)
Condition that reduces the flow of blood through the coronary arteries to the heart muscle (myocardium) that may progress to depriving the heart tissue of sufficient oxygen and nutrients to function normally.
36
embolus
Blood clot or foreign material, such as air or fat, that enters the bloodstream and moves until it lodges at another point in the circulation.
37
heart failure (HF)
Condition in which there is an inability of the heart to pump enough blood throughout the body to supply the tissues and organs with enough nutrients and oxygen.
Also called congestive heart failure (CHF).
38
hemorrhage
Rapid loss of blood
39
hypertension (HTN)
Blood pressure that is above normal (>130/80)
40
hypotension
Blood pressure that is below normal (<90/60)
41
leukemia
Malignant disease characterized by excessive increase in abnormal leukocytes formed in the bone marrow.
42
myocardial infarction (MI)
Death (necrosis) of a portion of the heart muscle caused by a lack of oxygen resulting from an interrupted blood supply. (Heart attack)
43
pulse (P)
Contraction of the heart, which can be felt with a fingertip.
44
sphygmomanometer
Device used for measuring blood pressure.
45
stethoscope
Instrument used to hear internal body sounds; used for performing auscultation and blood pressure measurement.
