| cardiohepatic | Relating to the heart and the liver. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiohepatic angle | The angle formed by the upper border of the liver and the right border of the heart, especially as defined by percussion. Synonym: cardiohepatic triangle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| cardioid | Resembling a heart. Origin: cardi-+ G. Eidos, resemblance (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardioid condenser | A type of dark-field condenser. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardioid dark field condenser | <microscopy> A condenser designed with two reflecting surfaces, the first, a spherical surface which reflects the rays to a second, cardioid (heart-shaped) surface. The virtue in such an arrangement is that, if the cardioid surface is of true figure, the lens is both achromatic and aplanatic. It has a limiting numerical aperture of about 1.0. Thus objectives of a greater numerical aperture cannot be used successfully with it. A true cardioid figure is the trace of a point on the circumference of a circle rolling around an equal, fixed circle. (05 Aug 1998) |
| cardioinhibitory | Arresting or slowing the action of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiokinetic | Influencing the action of the heart. Origin: cardio-+ G. Kinesis, movement (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiokymogram | Record made by a cardiokymograph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiokymograph | Noninvasive device, placed on the chest, capable of recording anterior left ventricle segmental wall motion; consists of a 5-cm diameter capacitive plate transducer as part of a high frequency, low-power oscillator with recording probe; changes in wall motion affect the magnetic field and thus the oscillatory frequency which is then recorded on a multichannel analog waveform polygraph.

| cardiokymography | Use of a cardiokymograph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiolipin | A diphosphatidyl glycerol that is found in the membrane of Treponema pallidum and is the antigen detected by the Wasserman test for syphilis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cardiolipin synthetase | <enzyme> Catalyses phosphatidylglycerol and cdpdiglyceride to cmp and diphosphatidylglycerol (cardiolipin); minor descriptor (75-83); on-line and index medicus search phosphotransferases (75-83) Registry number: EC 2.7.8.- Synonym: cardiolipin synthase, cls gene product, e. Coli, nov gene product, e. Coli (26 Jun 1999) |
