Most of the heart lies to this side of the midline
What is the left?
100
The phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart muscle relaxes to allow the chambers to fill with blood
What is diastole?
100
These maintain a one way directional flow of blood in the heart
What are valves?
100
This is a self retaining retractor commonly used in thoracic and cardiac procedures
What is a Finochetto?
100
This part of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the superior vena cava
What is the right atrium?
200
The heart is enclosed by this
What is the Pericardium?
200
This is necrosis of tissue related to decreased blood flow to the tissue
What is infarction?
200
These specialized arteries are all responsible for supplying blood to the heart and all it's tissues
What are the coronary arteries?
**RAD, LAD, Diagonal, Circumflex
200
This is used to make a sternal incision to open the sternum to expose the heart
What is a sternal saw?
200
Oxygenated blood is carried to the left atrium through these
What are pulmonary veins?
300
This is the middle layer of the heart wall made of cardiac muscle
What is the myocardium?
300
This is uncoordinated muscular activity in the heart muscle which results in quivering rather than pumping
what is fibrillation
What is fibrillation?
300
These are made of connective tissue that attach to the papillary muscle of ventricles in the heart
What are chordae tendonae?
300
This cardiac procedure will involve the use of x-ray and contrast to analyze the heart and it structures
What is an angiograph?
300
This defect results in failure of the aortic valve to close properly
What is aortic valve prolapse?
400
This is the outer layer of the double membrane sac that encloses the heart
What is the parietal layer of the pericardial sac?
400
This is the internal stoppage of all cardiac activity during cardiac surgery
What is Cardioplegia?
400
This is the pacemaker, it initiates the cardiac cycle in the heart
What is the Sinoatrial node? (SA Node)
400
This is a congenital narrowing or stricture in the aorta
What is coarctation?
400
This defect is the failure of the bicuspid valve to close properly resulting in regurgitation of blood in the left ventricle
What is mitral valve prolapse?
500
This is a tear in the inner lining of the aorta that begins at the ascending aorta and may extend into femoral arteries
What is a type A aortic dissection?
500
This is an implanted device to help control abnormal heart rhythms
What is a pacemaker?
500
This chamber of the heart is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the aortic arch and out to the rest of the body
What is the left ventricle?
500
This is an infection of the inner layer of the heart wall usually affecting the left ventricle, resulting from mitral valve prolapse, staph., or strep. bacteria
what is endocarditis?
500
This lower chamber of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs
