A
narrowing
25
constriction
compression
26
occlusion
blockage
27
ischemia
to hold back blood, occlusion of blood vessel
28
perfusion defecit
lack of blood flow through vessel caused by narrowing
29
infarct
to stuff, area of necrosis, caused by ischemia
30
angina pectoris
chest pain, caused by temporary loss of oxy-blood to heart muscle
31
aneurysm
widening, bulging of wall of heart or other stucture
32
saccular aneurysm
sac like bulge on one side
33
fusiform aneurysm
spindle-shaped bulge
34
dissecting aneurysm
split or tear in vessel wall
35
claudication
to limp, pain in a limb, caused by insufficient blood supply
36
diaphoresis
profuse sweating
37
heart murmur
abnormal sound from hearts made by defects in chambers or valves
38
palpitation
pounding, skipping, racing heartbeats
39
vegetation
abnormal growth of tissue around a valve, result of infection
40
arrhythmia
irregular or loss of rhythm of heart beat
41
bradycardia
slow heart beat
42
fibrilation
chaotic, irregular contractions of heart (atrial or ventricular)
43
flutter
extremely rapid but regular contractions of heart
44
heart block
intereference with normal electrical conduction of the heart
45
premature ventricular contraction
early ventricular contraction before SA node
46
arteriosclerotic heart disease
degenerative condition, thickening of arteries, loss of elastic, in smokers and elders
47
bacterial endocarditis
bacterial inflammation, affects endocardium or heart valves
48
cardiac tamponade
compression of heart from extra fluid in pericardial sac, causes rupture of blood vessel
49
cardiomyopathy
disease of heart muscle
50
congenital anomaly of heart
malformations of heart at birth
51
atrial septal defect
an opening in septum, present at birth
52
coarction of aorta
narrowing of descending portions of aorta, limits blood flow to lower body
53
patent ductus arteriosus
abnormal opening between pulmonary artery and aorta, caused by failure of fetal ductus arteriosus after birth
54
tetralogy of fallot
4 defects: pulmonary stenosis, ventricular septal defect, malposition of aorta, right ventricular hypertrophy. Deoxy blood goes into systemic circulation causing cyanosis
55
ventricular septal defect
opening of septum separating ventricles
56
congestive heart failure
left ventricle failure, causes edema in lower parts of body
57
cor pulmonale
enlargement of right ventricle, from chronic disease within lungs, causes congestion within pulmonary circulation
58
coronary artery disease
reduction of blood flow and oxygen and nutrients to myocardium
59
hypertension
high blood pressure (primary-secondary)
60
mitral valve prolapse
protrusion of one or both cusps of mitral valve into left atrium during ventricular contraction, causes back flow of blood
61
myocardial infarction
heart attack, death of myocardial tissue, loss of blood flow from occulsion in coronary artery
62
myocarditis
inflammation of myocardium, viral or bacterial infection are causes
63
pericarditis
inflammation of pericardium
64
phlebitis
inflammation of vein
65
rheumatic heart disease
damage to heart muscle and heart valves by rheumatic fever
66
thrombophlebitis
inflammation of vein associated with blood clot
67
varicose veins
abnormally swollen, twisted veins with defective valves, seen in legs commonly
68
deep vein thrombosis
formation of clot in a deep vein of the body, occurs in femoral and iliac veins
