veins/arteries
Two largest veins in the body
inferior and superior venae cavae
blood passes though the mitral valve to the
left ventricle
a swishing sound in the heart is a
murmur
destruction of clots is called
thrombolysis
AAA
abdominal aortic aneurysm
Largest artery in the body
aorta
they prevent back flow of blood
valves
the relaxation phase of the heart beat is the
diastole
inflammation of a vein with clots
thrombophlebitis
CHF
congestive heart failure
oxygen is brought back to the heart from the lungs by
pulmonary vein
the blood leaves the right atrium through the
tricuspid valve
the SA node function in the heart
is responsible for initiating the heartbeat
incision of a vein for phlebotomy or IV
VENIPUNCTURE
BBB
bundle branch block
two common arteries in the neck
carotid
from the right pulomnary artery the blood flows to the
lung capillaries
the heart rate during stress is sped up by the
sympathetic nerves
inflammation of the mitral valve
mitral valvulitis
MVP
mitral valve prolapse
smallest type of blood vessel
capillary
deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the
superior and inferior vena cava
it is between the visceral and the parietal pericardium
pericardial cavity
to treat CAD by replacing clogged vessels
coronary bypass grafting CABG
VT
VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA
