Cardio Procedure/Disease
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Allen test | A test for occlusion of the radial or ulnar artery, in which one of these arteries is compressed after blood has been forced out of the hand by clenching it into a fist. |
| Angiogram | Radiography of arteries after the injection of a radiopaque contrast material. |
| Arterial blood gas | The direct electrode measurement of the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood as well as pH and chloride levels. |
| Bone marrow biopsy | Process of removing bone marrow from living patients for macroscopic diagnostic examination. |
| Cardiac catherization | a procedure where a catheter is passed into the heart through a vein or artery, to withdraw samples of blood, measure pressures within the heart's chambers or great vessels, and inject contrast media; |
| Cardiac isoenzymes | A test used to measure the levels of the enzyme creatine phosphokinase (CPK, CK) and the protein troponin (TnI, TnT) in the blood. Test for heart attack. |
| This is used mainly in the diagnosis and evaluation of congenital, rheumatic, and coronary artery lesions and to evaluate systolic and diastolic cardiac function. | Cardiac catherization |
| Cardiac Stress Test | Use of a treadmill on a patient while connected to a cardiac event monitor to measure cardiac activity while the body is under physical activity. |
| Clotting studies | Tests used to determine the speed of the various plasma components involved in the clotting process. PT, PTT, Factor VIII assay, platelet count, fibrinogen levels. |
| Doppler | A diagnostic instrument that emits an ultrasonic beam into the body; the ultrasound reflected from moving structures changes its frequency. Of diagnostic value in peripheral vascular and cardiac disease. |
| Electrocardiogram | Graphic record of cardiac action. |
| Echocardiogram | The use of ultrasound in the investigation of the structure and motion of the heart and great vessels and diagnosis of cardiovascular lesions. |
| Erythrocytic sedimentation rate | The rate of settling of red blood cells in anticoagulated blood; increased rates are often associated with anemia or inflammatory states. |
| Pulse oximetry | A spectrophotometric device that noninvasively estimates saturation of arterial oxyhemoglobin (SaO2) by use of selected wavelengths of light. |
| Sphygmomanometer | An instrument for measuring arterial blood pressure indirectly, consisting of an inflatable cuff, inflating bulb, and a gauge showing the blood pressure. |
| Transesophageal echo | Recording of the echocardiogram from a swallowed transducer. |
| Ultrasonography | The location, measurement, or delineation of deep structures by measuring the reflection or transmission of high-frequency or ultrasonic waves. |
| Ultrasonography | Computer calculation of the distance to the sound-reflecting or absorbing surface plus the known orientation of the sound beam gives a two-dimensional image. |
| Venogram | Radiograph of opacified veins. |
| Angioplasty | Reconstitution or recanalization of a blood vessel; may involve balloon dilation, mechanical stripping of intima, forceful injection of fibrinolytics, or placement of a stent. |
| Antiarrhythmic | A drug with an action antagonistic to that of a loss of rhythm of the heartbeat |
| Anticoagulants | An agent having such action to prevent coagulation. |
| Antiembolic stockings | Specially fitted elastic stockings used to compress lower extremities, reduce blood pooling, and promote venous return, thus reducing risk of thrombus formation. |
| Antihypertensives | Indicating a drug or mode of treatment that reduces the blood pressure |
| Antilipidemic | Indicating a drug that reduces the production of or absorption of cholesterol, fatty acids. |
| Aortoplasty | A procedure for surgical repair of the aorta. |
| Arthrectomy | postural rhymic raising & lowering of lower extremities to enhance circulation to thelower extremities. |
| Cardiopulmonary resuscitation: | Restoration of cardiac output and pulmonary ventilation following cardiac arrest and apnea, using artificial respiration and manual closed chest compression or open chest cardiac massage. |
| Cardioversion | Restoration of the heart's rhythm to normal by electrical countershock. |
| Chemotherapy | Treatment of disease by means of chemical substances or drugs; usually used in reference to neoplastic disease. |
| Commissurotomy | Surgical division of any commissure, fibrous band, or ring using surgery or a balloon catheter technique. |
| Coronary Artery By-Pass Graft (CABG) | A surgical procedure in which damaged sections of the coronary arteries are replaced with new articular of venous grafting to increase rate of cardiac blood flow. |
| Corticosteroids | a corticoid containing a steroid. |
| Defibrillation | The arrest of fibrillation of the cardiac muscle (atrial or ventricular) with restoration of the normal rhythm. |
| Diuretics | An agent that increases the amount of urine excreted. |
| Fowler’s position | A recumbent position in which the head of the bed is elevated 45–60 degrees above level. |
| Paracardiocentesis | The passage into a cavity of a trocar and cannula, needle, or other hollow instrument for the purpose of removing fluid from the pericardial sac. |
| Phlebectomy | Excision of a segment of a vein, sometimes performed to cure varicose veins |
| Phlebotomy | Incision into a vein for the purpose of drawing blood. |
| Transfusion | Transfer of blood or a blood component from one person (donor) to another (recipient). |
| Thrombolytic | A drug with an action to break up or dissolving a thrombus |
| Vasoconstrictors | A drug with an action to reduce the caliber of a blood vessel due to contraction of smooth muscle fibers in the tunica media leading to decreased blood flow to a part. |
| Vasodilator | A drug with an action to increase in the caliber of a blood vessel due to relaxation of smooth muscle fibers in the tunica media. This increases blood flow but decreases systemic vascular resistance. |
