Arteriosclerosis, aortic stenosis
A chronic disease in which thickening, hardening, and loss of elasticity of the arterial walls result in impaired blood circulation. It develops with aging, and in hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and other conditions. Abnormal narrowing of the aortic valve orifice; may be either congenital or acquired. cardiovascular system

Arteriosclerotic heart disease
A chronic disease in which thickening, hardening, and loss of elasticity of the arterial walls result in impaired blood circulation. It develops with aging, and in hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and other conditions. cardiovascular system
11
cardiovascular system
AST cardiovascular system
12
Aspartate aminotransferase
An enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of an amino group It is present in many tissues and body fluids. The serum concentration is elevated when damage to tissue cells, especially of the heart and liver, causes a release of the enzyme. AST values are also increased in some muscle diseases, such as enzootic muscular dystrophy. cardiovascular system
13
cardiovascular system
ASCVD cardiovascular system
14
Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease
Hardening and thickening of the walls of the arteries. Arteriosclerosis can occur because of fatty deposits on the inner lining of arteries (atherosclerosis), calcification of the wall of the arteries, or thickening of the muscular wall of the arteries from chronically elevated blood pressure cardiovascular system
15
cardiovascular system
BBB cardiovascular system
16
cardiovascular system
Bundle branch block Bundle branch block (BBB) is a condition in which there's a delay or obstruction in the transmission of your heart's electrical impulses. It can occur in people who appear healthy, and it's often a sign of an underlying heart problem. cardiovascular system
17
cardiovascular system
BP cardiovascular system
18
cardiovascular system
Blood pressure Refers to the force exerted by circulating blood through the vessels and is a principle vital sign. cardiovascular system
19

CABG cardiovascular system
20
Coronary artery bypass graft
A surgical procedure to relieve angina and reduce the risk of death from heart disease; veins are grafted to bypass the arteries of the heart to improve blood circulation. cardiovascular system
21
cardiovascular system
CAD cardiovascular system
22
Coronary artery disease
Occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle (the coronary arteries) become hardened and narrowed cardiovascular system

26
cardiovascular system
Coronary care unit A hospital ward specialized in the care of patients with heart attacks, unstable angina and (in practice) various other cardiac conditions that require continuous monitoring and treatment. cardiovascular system

28
Congestive heart failure
A condition in which the heart can't pump enough blood to the body's other organs. cardiovascular system

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
An emergency medical procedure for a victim of cardiac arrest cardiovascular system
31

CV cardiovascular system
32
cardiovascular system
An organ system that moves nutrients, gases, and wastes to and from cells, and helps stabilize body temperature and pH to maintain homeostasis cardiovascular system

ECC cardiovascular system
36
Extracorporeal circulation
Usually a procedure in which blood is taken from a patient's circulation to have a process applied to it before it is returned to the circulation cardiovascular system
37
cardiovascular system
ECG, EKG cardiovascular system
38
cardiovascular system
Electrocardiogram A graphic produced by an electrocardiograph, which records the electrical activity of the heart over time cardiovascular system
39
cardiovascular system
HDL cardiovascular system
40
High density lipoprotein
A class of lipoproteins that carry cholesterol from the body's tissues to the liver. When measuring cholesterol, any contained in HDL particles is considered as protection to the body's cardiovascular health. cardiovascular system

IHSS cardiovascular system
44
Idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis
Heart damage from thickened heart walls cardiovascular system
45
cardiovascular system
LDH cardiovascular system
46
Lactate dehydrogenase
Is most often measured to check for tissue damage cardiovascular system
47
cardiovascular system
LDL cardiovascular system
48
Low density lipoprotein
Considered to be the ‘bad’ type of cholesterol that causes deposits in arteries. cardiovascular system
49
cardiovascular system
LVH cardiovascular system
50
Left ventricular hypertrophy
The thickening of the myocardium (muscle) of the left ventricle of the heart. While ventricular hypertrophy can occur naturally as a reaction to aerobic exercise and strength training, it is most frequently referred to as a pathological reaction to cardiovascular disease. cardiovascular system
51
cardiovascular system
MI cardiovascular system
52
Myocardial infarction
Heart attack cardiovascular system
53
cardiovascular system
MS cardiovascular system
54
cardiovascular system
Mitral stenosis A narrowing or blockage of the opening of the mitral valve, which separates the upper and lower chambers on the left side of the heart. cardiovascular system
55
cardiovascular system
MVP cardiovascular system
56
cardiovascular system
Mitral valve prolapse Most common heart valve abnormality. Symptoms include fatigue, palpitations, chest pain, anxiety, and migraine cardiovascular system
57

58
cardiovascular system
Open heart surgery Any surgery where the chest is opened and surgery is performed on the heart cardiovascular system
59
cardiovascular system
PAT cardiovascular system
60
Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia
During the bouts of PAT, the heart rate typically speeds up to 160-to-200 beats per minute cardiovascular system
61
cardiovascular system
PTCA cardiovascular system
62
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
Performed to open blocked coronary arteries caused by coronary artery disease (CAD) and to restore arterial blood flow to the heart tissue without open-heart surgery and a long narrow tube is inserted in the artery to keep it open. cardiovascular system

cardiovascular system
PVC cardiovascular system
64
Premature ventricular contractions
A form of irregular heartbeat in which the ventricle contracts prematurely. This results in a "skipped beat" followed by a stronger beat. AKA heart palpitations cardiovascular system
