|---|---|
| Freiberg infraction | <orthopaedics, radiology> Osteochondrosis of the metatarsal head, usually the 2nd, and less commonly in the 1st and 3rd, originally thought to be a form of aseptic necrosis, now thought to be an infarction or a stress fracture. It tends to occur in late adolescence, and the articular end becomes flattened (sometimes concave and irregular), small ossicles may form after healing, DJD is commonly a late complication (12 Dec 1998) |
| Freiberg's disease | <orthopaedics, radiology> Epiphysial ischemic (aseptic) necrosis of second metatarsal head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior myocardial infarction | Infarction involving the anterior wall of the heart, and producing indicative electrocardiographic changes in the anterior chest leads and often in limb lead I. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anteroinferior myocardial infarction | Infarction involving both anterior and inferior walls of the heart simultaneously. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral myocardial infarction | Extensive anterior infarction producing indicative changes across the precordium as well as in leads I and aVL. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anteroseptal myocardial infarction | An anterior infarction in which indicative electrocardiographic changes are confined to the medial chest leads (V1-V4). (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac infarction | A term used to describe irreversible injury to heart muscle. Synonym: heart attack. See: infarction. Common symptoms include substernal, crushing chest pain that may radiate to the jaw or arms. Chest pains may be associated with nausea, sweating and shortness of breath. Acronym: MI (27 Sep 1997) |
| cerebral infarction | Infarction of brain tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peri-infarction block | An electrocardiographic abnormality associated with an old myocardial infarct and caused by delayed activation of the myocardium in the region of the infarct; characterised by an initial vector directed away from the infarcted region with the terminal vector directed toward it. (05 Mar 2000) |
| watershed infarction | Cortical infarction in an area where the distribution of major cerebral arteries meet or overlap. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myocardial infarction | A term used to describe irreversible injury to heart muscle. Synonym: heart attack. See: infarction. Common symptoms include substernal, crushing chest pain that may radiate to the jaw or arms. Chest pains may be associated with nausea, sweating and shortness of breath. Acronym: MI (27 Sep 1997) |
| myocardial infarction in dumbbell form | Infarction involving the septum along with both inferior and anterior walls to make an H-or dumbbell-shaped configuration. Synonym: Roesler-Bressler infarct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior myocardial infarction | Infarction involving the posterior wall of the heart; also formerly used erroneously of infarction's involving the inferior or diaphragmatic surface of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postmyocardial infarction pericarditis | <pathology> Inflammation of the pericardium. (18 Nov 1997) |
