Medical Terminology - MidTerm Review - Part 2

Cardiovascular System

Endocarditis

• difficulty breathing

• inflammation of veins

• inflammation of the tissues lining inside of heart and heart valves

• imaging of blood vessels and blood flow

Cardiovascular System

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

• abnormally slow heart rate (less than 50 beats per minute)

• disease of the heart muscle

• record of the heart's electrical activity

• lack of blood flow to body tissues

Cardiovascular System

Valvuloplasty

• valves between atria and ventricles (mitral and tricuspid)

• lack of blood flow to body tissues

• widening of a stenosed heart valve using a balloon catheter

• disease of the heart muscle

Cardiovascular System

Dyspnea

• difficulty breathing

• inflammation of veins

• disease of the heart muscle

• record of the heart's electrical activity

Cardiovascular System

Angiogram

• abnormally slow heart rate

• imaging of blood vessels and blood flow

• inflammation of the tissues lining the inside of heart and heart valves

• lack of blood flow to body tissues

Cardiovascular System

Phlebitis

• widening of a stenosed heart valve using a balloon catheter

• inflammation of veins

• valves between the atria and ventricles (mitral and tricuspid)

• abnormally slow heart rate (less than 50 beats per minute)

Cardiovascular System

Ischemia

• disease of the heart muscle

• imaging of blood vessels and blood flow

• difficulty breathing

• lack of blood flow to body tissues

Cardiovascular System

Atrioventricular valves

• inflammation of the tissues lining the inside of heart and heart valves

• valves between atria and ventricles (mitral and tricuspid)

• inflammation of veins

• difficulty breathing

Cardiovascular System

Cardiomyopathy

• imaging of blood vessels and blood flow

• lack of blood flow to body tissues

• disease of the heart muscle

• record of the heart's electrical activity

Cardiovascular System

Bradycardia

• abnormally slow heart rate (less than 50 beats per minute)

• Record of the heart's electrical activity

• Imaging of blood vessels qand blood flow

• Valves between atria and ventricles (mitral and tricuspid)
