Heart anatomy
Muscle part of the heart is called
What is myocardium?
Contraction of heart muscle is called
What is systole?
Infection of the external covering of the heart
What is pericarditis?
Recording electrical activity of the heart
What is electrocardiography?
Tiny, thin-walled vessels that allow for exchanges between systems
What is capillary?
Blood pressure is expressed in two measurements such as 120/80 mmHg. The higher indicates systolic pressure, the lower indicates
What is diastolic pressure?
A structure specific to heart muscle in order to transmit electrical impulses
What are intercalated disks?
Ventricular systole follows
The general name given for the rhythm disorders of the heart
What is arrythmia?
Tracking heart's activity through the use of sound waves
What is echocardiography?
The major vessel that establishes the beginning of the pulmonary circuit
What is pulmonary artery?
Resistance is necessary for maintaining a blood pressure. Vasomotor changes, elasticity of blood vessels, viscosity of blood and ..... contribute to the maintaining blood pressure.
Two chambers of the heart where the blood first enters the heart
What are atriums?
Heart rate is one component of the cardiac output, the other is called
What is stroke volume?
This is one of the most common congenital heart disease appears as an open connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery
What is ductus arteriosus?
It is derived from foxglove, and slows the heart and strengthens the contraction
What is digitalis?
There three parts of the Aorta: ascending, .... and descending in the thorax
What is aortic arch?
Hypertension does not cause death by itself but its complications does. Some of these include development and bursting aneurysms, kidney damage, and predisposing atherosclerosis, chronic high blood pressure's impact on the heart is
What is heart failure?
Two chambers of the heart where oxygenated blood passes through
What is left heart (left atrium and left ventricle)?
Normal heart rhythm is also called
What sinus rhythm?
A myocardial infarction is a result of hypoxia of the myocardium, it sometimes gives early warning with chest discomfort that radiates to left arm, this is called
What is angina pectoris?
Device planted under the skin and is used for artificial stimulation of heart muscle
What is pacemaker?
The arteries and veins have the same anatomic structures except for one
Removing an artery's thickened, atheromatous lining
What is endarterectomy?
Number of coronary arteries that feed the myocardium
What is two (right and left coronary arteries)?
The slowest transmission of electrical impulse is between these two points
What is atrioventricular node and atrioventricular bundle?
Caused either by age or previous damage to the heart, appears as fluid accumulation in the lungs, liver, abdomen, and legs with reduced cardiac output
What is (congestive) heart failure?
One of the veins that is used in coronary by-pass surgery is the Saphenic vein but the better option is an artery.
What is internal mammary artery?
When breathing in the blood flows into the chest and heart and heart slows due to being filled with blood, this is called
What is sinus arrythmia?
The condition that there is inadequate blood flow to the body tissues
What is shock?
Number of valves in the heart with 3 cusps.
What is three (Right atrioventricular valve, pulmonary artery valve, and aortic valve)
It is the ratio of left ventricular stroke volume to ventricular volume
What is left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)?
This condition appears as inability for left atrium to contract, and cerebral embolism and sudden palpitations.
What is atrial fibrillation?
This is one of the invasive radiologic procedures to control atrial fibrillation through burning the cardiac tissue around the pulmonary veins
What is myocardial ablation?
This is a venous system that actually do not pour into the right heart
What is hepatic portal system?
This condition is common in older people who are bound to chair or bed, temporary or permanent clotting problems, it may also occur long haul plane travel with predisposing factors.
What is deep vein thrombosis?
