Enter Diagnostic Tests & Procedures
A radiograph test that uses a contrast agent (dye) and a camera to take pictures of the blood flow in arteries or veins.
What is angiogram
The transfer of blood, or blood components such as red blood cells, from a donor to a recipient
what is blood transfusion
Medication used to prevent or alleviate angina (spasmodic chest pain).
What is antianginal
atrioventricular
what is AV
Disorder involving a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin
What is anemia
Process of listening to the internal sounds of the body using a stethoscope
what is auscultation
The replacement of diseased bone-marrow cells in a patient with healthy bone-marrow cells from a donor
What is bone marrow transplant
An agent used to alleviate or prevent cardiac arrhythmia.
What is antiarrhythmic
blood pressure
what is BP
Disorder in which the bone marrow does not produce enough new red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets.
What is aplastic anemia
The pressure exerted by the blood on the wall of an artery or vein. Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer
what is blood pressure
Procedure in which controlled electrical shocks are sent through the heart to restore normal cardiac rhythm in a patient with arrhythmia.
What is cardioversion
An agent used to prevent the formation of blood clots. Also known as a blood thinner.
what is anticoagulant
beats per minute
what is bpm
Disorder marked by excessive destruction of RBCs.
What is hemolytic anemia
Passage of a tiny plastic tube into the heart through a blood vessel, usually through the femoral artery in the leg; used to diagnose heart diseases or abnormalities
What is cardiac catheterization
A shunt (passageway), established surgically, that allows blood to travel from the aorta to a branch of the coronary artery at a point beyond an obstruction
What is coronary artery bypass graft
Medication used to counteract high blood pressure.
what is antihypertensive
bloodwork
BW
Condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells due to lack of iron, which is a mineral essential for hemoglobin production.
What is iron-deficient anemia
Procedure in which blood flow and blood pressure are measured using ultrasound technology (high-frequency sound waves). The sound waves are “bounced” off red blood cells as they circulate through the blood vessels. Doppler sonography differs from standard ultrasound imaging procedures in that the latter cannot measure blood flow. Also called Doppler ultrasound.
What is Doppler sonography, Doppler ultrasound
Procedure used to stop atrial or ventricular fibrillation (an irregular and usually rapid heartbeat) by means of drugs or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) surgically placed in the chest or abdomen
What is defibrillation
A drug used to dilate (widen) arteries and reduce blood pressure, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
what is calcium channel blocker
coronary artery bypass graft
CABG
Disorder in which the body does not manufacture enough RBCs due to a vitamin B12 deficiency.
What is pernicious anemia
