Definition
| This technique is common for those who suffer from severe occlusion (blockage) of parts of the coronary arteries |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The most common cause is thrombus formation that blocks a coronary artery |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It is characterized by chest discomfort, often described as heaviness, pressure, or severe pain; it can be mistake for indigestion/heartburn |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This technique is relatively non-invasive and is useful in improving the function of cardiac muscle from teh coronary arteries. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The cardiac tissue suffers from a loack of blood flow, which deprives the tissue of oxygen and results in cellular death |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Pain that results from the reduction in the blood supply to the cardiac muscle |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Utilizes a small balloon threaded through the aorta and into a coronary artery |
|
|
Term
| Coronary Bypass Surgery (NUMBAH TOO) |
|
Definition
| This technique involves taking healthy segments of blood vessels and using them to replace obstruction in the coronary arteries |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It is a type of abnormal heart sound |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It is given to people who suffer from heart failure as it slows and strengthens the contraction of the heart muscle |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It is the result of a progressive weakening of the heart muscle (ventricles) and the failure of the heart to pump blood effectively |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Is it caused by a stereotypical infection and may cause inflamed vlaves, particular affecting the bicuspid (mitral) valve, which can become stensosed (narrowed and stiff) or imcompetent |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It affects the valves more severely than other areas of the heart and can lead to formation of scar tissue, causing valves to become more stensosed or imcomptetent |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The result of a heart valve that leaks |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This dilates coronary blood vessels and increases blood flow to the cardiac muscle |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This is frequently given to people who suffer from the cornary artery disease |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An example of this disease is a septal defect, which is a hole in the interventricular septum (the wall between the right and left sides of the heart) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Is it an inflammation of the outer layers of the heart |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It provides and electrical stimulus to the heart at a set frequency |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It is the inflammation of the musculature of the heart |
|
|
Term
| Nitroglycerin (NUMBAH TOO) |
|
Definition
| It ceases dilation of the veins and arteries throughout the body, resulting in a decrease venous return to the heart |
|
|
Term
| Congenital Heart Disease (NUMBAH TOO) |
|
Definition
| It is the result of abnormal heart development |
|
|
Term
| Calcium Channel Blockers (#2) |
|
Definition
| Because of the action potentials that produce cardiac muscle contractions depend in part of the flow of the particular ions that glow into the cardiac muscle cells, these can be used to control the force of the heart contraction and reduce arrhythmia, tachycardia, and hypertension |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Blood flows from the aorta into the pulmonary trunk and into the lung under high pressure, which damages them as a sequence of this condition |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This is the formation of a blood clot in a coronary vessel |
|
|
Term
| Beta-Adrenergic Blocking Agents |
|
Definition
| This binds to the receptors for epineephrine and nonepinephrine and prevents these substances from having their normal effect |
|
|
Term
| Heart Valve Replacement Repair |
|
Definition
| Synthetic materials, such as plastic or Dacron, are used to manufacture a type of artificial heart structure when surgical intervention is called for |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It is abnormally high blood pressure |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| One aspirin a day may benefit those who are likely to experience a coronary thrombosis (clot) |
