| papillary muscle dysfunction | Impaired function of a papillary muscle, usually due to ischemia or infarction, with resulting incompetence of the mitral valve. Synonym: papillary muscle syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular dysfunction | A condition in which the ventricles of the heart exhibit a decreased functionality. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventricular dysfunction, left | A condition in which the left ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality. This decreased function could lead to congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction, among other cardiovascular diseases. Diagnostic measurements that indicate this condition include a diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the left ventricular wall. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventricular dysfunction, right | A condition in which the right ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality. This decreased function could lead to congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction, among other cardiovascular diseases. Diagnostic measurements that indicate this condition include a diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the right ventricular wall. (12 Dec 1998) |
| phagocyte bactericidal dysfunction | Disorders in which phagocytic cells cannot kill ingested bacteria; characterised by frequent recurring infection with formulation of granulomas. (12 Dec 1998) |
| phagocyte dysfunction | Disorder in which the ability of the phagocyte to engulf and ingest particles may be impaired. (05 Mar 2000) |

| placental dysfunction | 1. Denoting faulty development or ripening; often connoting structural and/or functional abnormalities. 2. In obstetrics, denoting an infant whose birth weight is inappropriately low for its gestational age. 3. Immature development of the placenta so that normal function does not occur. Synonym: placental dysfunction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| placental dysfunction syndrome | <syndrome> Foetal malnutrition and hypoxia resulting from impaired transfer of oxygen and various nutritive materials from mother to foetus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| constitutional hepatic dysfunction | Mild jaundice due to increased amounts of unconjugated bilirubin in the plasma without evidence of liver damage, biliary obstruction, or haemolysis; thought to be due to an inborn error of metabolism in which the excretion of bilirubin by the liver is defective, ascribed to decreased conjugation of bilirubin as a glucuronide or impaired uptake of hepatic bilirubin. Synonym: benign familial icterus, constitutional hepatic dysfunction, Gilbert's disease, Gilbert's syndrome, Hebra's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
