communication between two blood vessels, or other tubular structures | anastomosis |
surgical connection of two hollow tubular structures | surgical anastomosis |
fetal artery connecting pulmonary artery w/aorta permitting pressure determined blood flow from pulmonary artery to aorta, bypassing blood flood to nonfunctional fetal lungs | ductus arteriosus |
opening in atrial septum, to bypass nonfunctioning fetal lungs, which maintains blood flow between 2 atria as atrial septum is developing | foramen ovale |
blood flow across foramen ovale controlled by a flap of __ tissue on left ___ side of septum that overlaps the opening in the foramen ovale | atrial |
disease caused by hypersensitivity to antigens of beta streptococcus, characterized by fever, joint paints, & inflammation of heart valves & muscles | rheumatic fever |
ischemic heart disease is used synonymously with | coronary heart disease |
designates heart disease as result of inadequate blood flow through coronary arteries | ischemic heart disease |
expandable metal hollow tubular device placed within lumen of structure where it functions as a support to prevent narrowing of the dilated blood vessel | stent |
stents are often used to expand the ___ of the vessel | lumen |
complete cessation of cardiac activity | cardiac arrest |
necrosis of heart muscle as result of interruption of its blood supply | myocardial infarction |
necrosis of heart muscle as result of interruption of its blood supply, which may affect full thickness of muscle wall | transmural infarct |
necrosis of heart muscle as result of interruption of its blood supply, which may only affect part of the muscle wall | subendocardial infarct |
classification of patients with coronary artery disease complaining of chest pain into one of three separate groups based on ECG & cardiac enzyme tests, used to assess prognosis and guide treatment. | acute coronary syndromes |
unstable angina, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, and ST elevation myocardial infarction are | three separate groups of coronary artery disease |
dilatation of a structure, such as the aorta, a cerebral artery, or a part of the ventricular wall | aneurysm |
precordial pain experienced on exertion owing to inadequate blood supply to the heart muscle | angina pectoris |
irregularity of the heartbeat | arrhythmia |
One type of arteriosclerosis characterized by thickening and degeneration of small arterioles | arteriolosclerosis |
disease characterized by diffuse intrahepatic scarring and liver cell degeneration | cirrhosis of the liver |
accessory circulation capable of delivering blood to a tissue when the main circulation is blocked, as by a thrombus or embolus | collateral circulation |
heart failure caused by inadequate filling of the ventricles during diastole, in contrast to systolic heart failure in which ejection of blood from the ventricles during systole is inadequate | diastolic heart failure |
dissection of blood into the wall of the aorta secondary to degeneration of the arterial wall with an associated tear of the lining (intima) of the artery | dissecting aneurysm of the aorta |
technique for measuring the serial changes in the electrical activity of the heart during the various phases of the cardiac cycle. (Often called ECG or EKG.) | electrocardiogram |
nonsurgical treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm in which the aneurysm graft is inserted through the femoral arteries, positioned within in aneurysm, and anchored within the aorta above and below the aneurysm | endovascular aneurysm repair |
dilated (varicose) veins of the esophagus, which are often present in patients with cirrhosis of the liver | esophageal varices |
delay or complete interruption of impulse transmission from the atria to the ventricles | heart block |

group of conditions consisting of obesity, hypertension, elevated blood glucose, and blood lipids, which predisposes to cardiovascular disease and diabetes | metabolic syndrome |
surgical procedure in which an aortic aneurysm is opened; a graft is placed within the aneurysm sac and sutured to the aorta above and below the aneurysm so that the blood flows through the graft rather than through the aneurysm | open surgical aneurysm repair |
heart failure caused by inadequate ejection of blood from the ventricles during systole, in contrast to diastolic heart failure in which filling of the ventricles in diastole is inadequat | systolic heart failure |
varicose veins within the spermatic cord that drain blood from the testis | varicocele |
