| diaphragmatic flutter | Rapid rhythmical contractions (average, 150 per minute) of the diaphragm, simulating atrial flutter clinically and sometimes electrocardiographically. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|
| atrial flutter | <cardiology> A rapid well organised contraction of the atrium at a rate of 250-350 contractions per minute. Ventricular response rates are usually some multiple of 300. ECG shows sawtooth waves. Atrial flutter is considered a serious and potentially unstable rhythm. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| ventricular flutter | A form of rapid ventricular tachycardia in which the electrocardiographic complexes assume a regular undulating pattern without distinct QRS and T waves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pure flutter | Consistent registration of atrial flutter waves unmixed with other signals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| impure flutter | Mixture of atrial flutter (FF) waves and fibrillation (ff) waves in the electrocardiogram. Synonym: fibrilloflutter, flutter-fibrillation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ocular flutter | A spontaneous, brief, intermittent, horizontal oscillation of the eyes occurring during fixation; it often coexists with ocular dysmetria in cerebellar syndromes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flutter | <clinical sign> A rapid vibration or pulsation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| flutter-fibrillation | Mixture of atrial flutter (FF) waves and fibrillation (ff) waves in the electrocardiogram. Synonym: fibrilloflutter, flutter-fibrillation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flutter-fibrillation waves | The waves of atrial flutter usually best seen in ECG leads 2, 3, and AVF. (A small f indicates atrial fibrillation). Synonym: fibrillary waves, fibrillatory waves, flutter-fibrillation waves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior part of diaphragmatic surface of liver | The part of the diaphragmatic surface of the liver deep to the costal arches and the xiphoid process. Synonym: pars anterior faciei diaphragmatis hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right part of diaphragmatic surface of liver | The part of the diaphragmatic surface of the liver deep to the bodies of the lower ribs on the right side. Synonym: pars dextra faciei diaphragmaticae hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital diaphragmatic hernia | Absence of the pleuroperitoneal membrane (usually on the left) or an enlarged Morgagni's foramen which allows protrusion of abdominal viscera into the chest. Synonym: Bochdalek's hernia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior part of the diaphragmatic surface of the liver | That portion of the diaphragmatic surface of the liver that includes the bare area and the caudate lobe. Synonym: pars posterior faciei diaphragmatis hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hernia, diaphragmatic | Protrusion of some part of the abdominal or retroperitoneal structures through the diaphragm into the thorax. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hernia, diaphragmatic, traumatic | Protrusion of some part of the abdominal or retroperitoneal structures through the diaphragm into the thorax, occurring as a result of injury, usually to the abdomen. (12 Dec 1998) |
| superior part of diaphragmatic surface of liver | The convex superior portion of the diaphragmatic surface of the liver. Synonym: pars superior faciei diaphragmaticae hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
