Study Notes

Cardiology Terminology

  • Tricuspid Valve: The right atrioventricular valve, essential in heart function.

  • Pericardium: The double-walled membranous sac that encases the heart, providing protection and lubrication.

  • Septum: A partition or wall that separates different chambers of the heart.

  • Infarct: A localized area of tissue necrosis due to an interrupted blood supply; significant in understanding heart attacks.

  • Transfusion: The process of introducing whole blood or blood components into a recipient's bloodstream, critical in medical emergencies.

  • Shunt: A bypass or diversion in blood flow, often used in medical procedures.

Anatomy and Functions

  • Cor: The Latin term meaning heart, foundational in various cardiac terminology.

  • Cardiomyopathy: Disease impacting the heart muscle, affecting its ability to pump blood effectively.

  • Cardiomegaly: Refers to enlargement of the heart, often indicative of underlying health issues.

  • Perfusion: The process of blood flow through tissues, vital for nutrient and oxygen delivery.

  • Pulmonary Arteries: The blood vessels responsible for transporting blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.

  • Systole: The contraction phase of the heartbeat, crucial for blood circulation.

Medical Conditions and Procedures

  • Iatrogenic: Refers to diseases or conditions that arise as a result of medical treatment, highlighting potential risks of care.

  • Epicardium: The external layer of the heart, providing a protective covering.

  • Coronary Arteries: The arteries supplying blood to the myocardium, essential for heart function.

Heart Chambers and Valves

  • Mitral Valve: Also known as the bicuspid valve, key in regulating blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.

  • Right Ventricle: The heart chamber responsible for pumping deoxygenated blood to the lungs for carbon dioxide removal.

Blood Supply and Flow

  • Hemostasis: The body's process for controlling bleeding, critical in injury management.

  • Ischemia: A deficiency in blood supply to tissues, often leading to pain and potential damage.

  • Lumen: The opening within a vessel through which fluid flows, important for understanding vascular health.

Vascular Terminology

  • Angi/o and Vas/o: Prefixes meaning vessel, important in understanding various medical conditions related to blood vessels.

  • Ven/o and Phleb/o: Prefixes meaning vein, essential in discussing venous health issues.

  • Valv/o and Valvul/o: Root terms referring to valves, significant in discussions about heart function and diseases.

  • Cardi/o and Cor: Root terms meaning heart, foundational for many medical terms in cardiology.

  • Holo- and Pan-: Prefixes meaning all, useful in describing conditions or treatments that affect the entire system.
