Cardio-angiogram
A cardio-angiogram is a medical imaging test that uses X-rays and dye to visualize the coronary arteries and the flow of blood through them. It is used to diagnose coronary artery disease, which is the narrowing or blockage of the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle. The test is performed by injecting a dye into the bloodstream through a catheter, which is inserted into an artery in the leg or arm. The dye then flows through the coronary arteries and highlights any blockages or narrowing, allowing a doctor to diagnose and treat the condition.
Cardioactive
Cardioactive refers to substances or agents that have a stimulating effect on the heart, increasing its rate and strength of contraction. These substances can be found in certain foods, such as coffee, tea, and chocolate, or may be administered as medicines to treat conditions like heart failure or certain types of arrhythmia.
Cardioangiogram
A cardiovascular examination or a cardiovascular study, typically an X-ray that shows the movement of the blood flow through the blood vessels of the heart.
Cardiocele
Cardiocele is a rare type of congenital heart defect in which there is a hole in the wall between the left and right ventricles of the heart. It is often diagnosed at birth and can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and poor growth.
Cardiocentesis
Cardiocentesis is a medical procedure in which a needle is inserted through the chest wall and into the pericardial sac, which surrounds the heart, to drain fluid that has accumulated around the heart.
Cardiocytes
Cardiocytes are a type of cardiac muscle cell that makes up the heart muscle tissue. They are responsible for contracting to pump blood throughout the body.
Cardiodepressant
A cardiodepressant is a medication or substance that slows down the heart rate. It reduces the force and rate of heart contractions, leading to decreased cardiac output and blood pressure.
Cardiodynia
Cardiodynia refers to a sharp, stabbing chest pain that can be a symptom of a cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart muscle becomes weakened or thickened. The pain is not typically related to the physical demands of activity, but rather is often described as a constant, deep ache or a sharp, shooting pain in the chest, shoulder, or arm.
Cardioembolic
Cardioembolic refers to a blockage of an artery caused by an embolism that originates in the heart. An embolism is a blockage caused by a blood clot or other foreign material that breaks off from the heart and travels through the bloodstream, eventually becoming lodged in a smaller artery, preventing blood from flowing. Cardioembolic events are often associated with atrial fibrillation or other conditions that cause blood clots to form in the heart.
Cardioesophageal
Cardioesophageal refers to the cardiac-esophageal axis, which is the region between the heart and the esophagus. Specifically, it refers to the lower end of the esophagus, where it joins the stomach, and the upper part of the stomach, where the esophagus opens. This region is important for swallowing, digestion, and also for the circulation of blood from the head and neck to the rest of the body.
Cardiogenic
Cardiogenic refers to a condition or disease that originates in the heart or is caused by a problem with the heart. It can also refer to the production of a substance or fluid by the heart, such as cardiogenic shock, which is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
Cardiogenicity
Cardiogenicity refers to the property or quality of being related to or originating from the heart.
Cardioglycoside
Cardioglycosides are a class of cardiac glycosides, a type of cardiac medication that slows the beats of the heart to help prevent atrial fibrillation and other abnormal heart rhythms. They work by increasing the force of the heart's contractions and regulating the heart's rate and conduction. Examples of cardioglycosides include digoxin and digitoxin, which are used to treat conditions such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and congestive heart failure.
