| sinoatrial recovery time | <cardiology, physiology> Interval from the last paced P wave to the first succeeding spontaneous P wave (after 2 to 5 minutes of right atrial pacing at 120 to 140 beats per minute, and when expressed as percentage of control cycle length, it normally ranges from 115 to 159%).

| corrected and republished article | The republication of an article to correct, amplify, or restore text and data of the originally published article. (12 Dec 1998) |
| corrected dextrocardia | Displacement and rotation of the heart into the right side of the chest but without mirror transposition of the cardiac chambers. Synonym: dextroversion of the heart, false dextrocardia, type 3 dextrocardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corrected transposition of the great vessels | Anatomically or physiologically corrected malposition of the great arteries. In anatomically corrected transposition, they arise from the correct ventricles but have an abnormal relation to each other (actually a malposition rather than a transposition.) In physiologically or functionally corrected transposition, the aorta arises from a systemic ventricle that has the morphologic characteristics of a right ventricle, and the pulmonary artery arises from a "venous" ventricle that has the morphologic characteristics of a left ventricle.

| sinus node | sinoatrial node |
| sinus node artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch usually of the right coronary artery that supplies the sinuatrial node. Synonym: sinus node artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaesthesia recovery period | The period of emergence from general anaesthesia, where different elements of consciousness return at different rates. (12 Dec 1998) |
| recovery | 1. A getting back or regaining; recuperation. 2. Emergence from general anaesthesia. 3. In nuclear magnetic resonance, refers to relaxation. Origin: M.E., fr. O.Fr. Recoverer, fr. L. Recupero, to recover, get back, fr. Re-, again, + capio, to take (05 Mar 2000) |
| recovery boiler | A pulp mill boiler in which lignin and spent cooking liquor (black liquor) is burned to generate steam. (05 Dec 1998) |
| recovery room | Hospital unit providing continuous monitoring of the patient following anaesthesia. (12 Dec 1998) |
