| Pregunta | Respuesta |
| arrhythmias | abnormal heart rhythms (dysrhythmias) |
| bradycardiaand heart block (atrioventricular block) | failure of proper conduction of impulses from the SA node through the AV node to the atrioventricular bundle |
| flutter | rapid but regular contractions, usually of the atria |
| fibrillation | very rapid, random, inefficient, and irregular contractions of the heart (350 beats or more per minute) |
| congenital heart disease | abnormalities in the heart at birth |
| coarctation of the aorta (CoA) | narrowing (coarctation)of the aorta |
| patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) | passageway ( ductus arteriosus) between the aorta and the pulmonary artery remains open ( patent)after birth |
| septal defects | small holes in the wall between the atria ( atrial septal defects) or the ventricles (ventricular septal defects) |
| tetralogy of Fallot | congenital malformation involving four( tetra-) distinct heart defects |
| pulmonary stenosis | pulmonary artery is narrow or obstructed |
| ventricular septal defect | large hole bet. two ventricles let venous blood pass from right to left ventricle and out to the aorta w/o oxygenation |
| shift of the aorta to the right | aorta overrides the introventricular septum. oxygen-poor blood passes from right ventricle to the aorta. |
| hypertrophy of the right ventricle | myocardium works harder to pump blood through a narrowed pulmonary artery |
| congestive heart failure (CHF) | heart is unable to pump its required amount of blood |
| pulmonary edema | (fluid accumulation in the lungs) and swelling or edema in the legs, feet, ankles are common. |
| left ventricular assist device(LVAD) | booster pump implanted in the abdomen, with a cannula (tube) inserted into the left ventricle |
| coronary artery disease(CAD ) | disease of the arteries surrounding the heart |
| thrombotic occlusion | blocking of the coronary artery by a clot |
| necrosis | death; part of the myocardium |
| myocardial infraction | heart attack |
| acute coronary syndromes ( ACSs) | conditions caused by myocardia ischemia |
| unstable angina | chest pain at rest or chest pain of increasing frequency |
| endocarditis | inflammation of the inner lining of the heart |
| hypertensive heart disease | high blood pressure affecting the heart |
| mitral valve prolapse(MVP) | improper closure of the mitral valve |
| murmur | extra heart sound, heard between normal beats |
| pericarditis | inflammation of the membrane (pericardium) surrounding the heart |
| rheumatic heart disease | heart disease caused by rheumatic fever |
| aneurysm | local widening (dilation)of an arterial wall |
| deep vein thrombosis (DVT) | blood clot (thrombus) forms in a large vein, usually in a lower limb |
| hypertension (HTN) | high blood pressure |
| peripheral arterial disease (PAD) | blockage of arteries carrying blood to the legs, arms, kidneys, and other organs |
| Raynaud's disease(Raynaud's) | recurrent episodes of pallor amd cyanosis primarily in fingers and toes |
| varicose veins | abnormally swollen and twisted veins, usually occuring in the legs |
