structure
The number of chambers in the heart.
What is four?
High blood pressure.
What is hypertension?
the beats per minute.
what is bpm?
Someone who specializes in treating diseases of the cardiovascular system.
What is a cardiologist?
a hollow muscular organ that pumps the blood through the circulatory system by rhythmic contraction and dilation. In vertebrates there may be up to four chambers (as in humans), with two atria and two ventricles.
What is the heart?
Found between the left atrium and left ventricle.
What is the biscuspid valve?
The symptom of a rapid, irregular heartbeat.
What is heart failure?
muscle layer of the heart responsible for pumping action of the heart
what is myocardium?
Someone who specializes in surgery on the heart.
What is a cardiac surgeon?
any of the tubes forming part of the blood circulation system of the body, carrying in most cases oxygen-depleted blood toward the heart.
What are veins?
The largest artery in the body.
What is the aorta?
The failure to deliver blood to the heart due to a narrowing of the arteries.
What is coronary heart disease?
impulse normally palpated at the fifth intercostal space, left midclavicular line, caused by contraction of the LV
Someone who works in a cardiac cath lab and performs very complex procedures, including stent implants, cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators and other tests to diagnose heart disease.
What is a cardiovascular technologist?
any of the muscular-walled tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood (mainly that which has been oxygenated) is conveyed from the heart to all parts of the body.
What are arteries?
What are arterioles?
The symptom of numbness of one side of the body.
What is a stroke?
a decrease in blood pressure.
what is hypotension?
medical doctors who have specifically trained in the tools and techniques to diagnose or treat cardiovascular diseases or defects.
What is an invasive cardiologist?
any of the fine branching blood vessels that form a network between the arterioles and venules.
What are capillaries?
Responsible for storage of blood and does a little pumping of blood.
What is the right atrium?
High levels of cholesterol will lead to this.
What is arteriosclerosis?
pressure exerted on the arterial wall during contraction of left and right ventricles
Cardiologists who focus on the detection and treatment of heart disease, using external tests—rather than instruments inserted into the body—to evaluate and diagnose cardiac disorders.
What is a non-invasive cardiologist?
the red liquid that circulates in the arteries and veins of humans and other vertebrate animals, carrying oxygen to and carbon dioxide from the tissues of the body.
What is blood?
