| anaemic murmur | A nonvalvular murmur heard on auscultation of the heart and large blood vessels in cases of profound anaemia associated mainly with turbulent blood flow due to decreased blood viscosity. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|
| anaemic | Pertaining to or manifesting the various features of anaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| anaemic anoxia | A term formerly considered synonymous with anaemic hypoxia, but now reserved for extremely severe cases in which oxygen is almost completely lacking. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaemic halo | Pale, relatively avascular areas in the skin seen around vascular spiders, cherry angiomas, and sometimes in acute macular eruptions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaemic hypoxia | Hypoxia resulting from a decreased concentration of functional haemoglobin or a reduced number of erythrocytes; it is caused by haemorrhage or anaemia of various types, or by poisoning with CO2, nitrites, or chlorates. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaemic infarct | An infarct in which little or no bleeding into tissue spaces occurs when the blood supply is obstructed. Synonym: pale infarct, white infarct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accidental murmur | An evanescent cardiac murmur not due to valvular lesion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aneurysmal murmur | A systolic or systolic-diastolic murmur heard over some cardiac aneurysms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortic murmur | A murmur produced at the aortic orifice, either obstructive or regurgitant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial murmur | A murmur heard on auscultating an artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atriosystolic murmur | A murmur heard at the end of ventricular diastole (during atrial systole if in sinus rhythm), usually due to obstruction at one of the atrioventricular orifices. Synonym: atriosystolic murmur, late diastolic murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Austin Flint murmur | Synonym: Austin Flint phenomenon, Flint's murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bellows murmur | A blowing murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain murmur | <neurology> Sounds produced by intracranial aneurysms or arterial venous aneurysms in congenital dysplastic angiomatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Cabot-Locke murmur | <cardiology, clinical sign> An early diastolic murmur, like that of aortic insufficiency, heard best at the left lower sternal border in severe anaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac murmur | A murmur produced within the heart, at one of its valvular orifices or across ventricular septal defects. (05 Mar 2000) |
