| cardiomalacia | Softening of the walls of the heart. Origin: cardio-+ G. Malakia, softness (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cardiomegaly | <cardiology, clinical sign> Cardiac hypertrophy. Origin: Gr. Megas = large (18 Nov 1997) |
| cardiometry | Measurement of the dimensions of the heart or the force of its action. Origin: cardio-+ G. Metron, measure (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiomotility | Movements of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiomuscular | Pertaining to the cardiac musculature. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiomyoliposis | Fatty degeneration of the myocardium. Origin: cardio-+ G. Mys, muscle, + lipos, fat, + -osis, condition (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiomyopathy | <cardiology, pathology> A general diagnostic term designating primary myocardial disease, often of obscure or unknown aetiology. Origin: Gr. Mys = muscle, pathos = disease (18 Nov 1997) |
| cardiomyopathy, alcoholic | Cardiomyopathy resulting from: 1) a toxic effect of alcohol on the myocardium; 2) thiamine deficiency due to malnutrition in alcoholics; or 3) a toxic effect of cobalt additives in beer in heavy beer drinkers. This disease is usually manifested by dyspnea and palpitations with cardiomegaly and congestive heart failure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardiomyopathy, congestive | A syndrome characterised by cardiac enlargement and congestive heart failure. It probably represents the end result of many forms of myocardial damage produced by a variety of toxic, metabolic, or infectious agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic | A myocardial disease characterised by hypertrophy, involving mainly the interventricular septum, interfering with left ventricular emptying. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardiomyopathy, restrictive | Myocardial disease in which the ventricular walls are excessively rigid, impeding ventricular filling; it is marked by abnormal diastolic function but by normal or nearly normal systolic function. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardiomyoplasty | An operation that uses stimulated latissimus dorsi muscle (skeletal muscle ventricle) to assist cardiac function. The latissimus dorsi muscle is mobilised from the chest wall and moved into the thorax through the bed of the resected 2nd or 3rd rib. The muscle is then wrapped around the left and right ventricles and stimulated to contract during cardiac systole by means of an implanted burst-stimulator. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardiomyotomy | Synonym: oesophagomyotomy. Origin: cardio-+ G. Mys, muscle, + tome, cutting (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardionatrin | Synonym: atrial natriuretic peptide. Origin: cardio-+ Mod. L. Natrium, sodium, + suffix -in, material (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardionecrosis | Necrosis of the myocardium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac skeleton |
the fibrous or fibrocartilaginous framework that supports and gives attachment to the cardiac muscle fibers and valves, and the roots of the aorta and pulmonary trunk; it includes the anuli fibrosi cordis, left and right fibrous trigones, membranous part of the interventricular septum, and the infundibular tendon. Called also fibrous s. of heart.

| cardiophobia |
The English suffix -phobia is technically used to describe irrational, disabling fear as a mental disorder, and commonly misused to describe hatred of a particular thing or subject. Everyday language has misused the use of this suffix as a mild or irrational fear with no serious substance; however, its origin is from areas of psychiatry which study serious phobias which disable a person's life. ...

| cardiac electrophysiology |
Cardiac electrophysiology is the science of the electrical conduction system of the heart. It is concerned with the normal and abnormal transmission of impulses from the cardiac pacemaker and its influence on contraction of the myocardium (the muscle of the heart). A specialist in cardiac electrophysiology is known as a cardiac electrophysiologist, or (more commonly) simply an electrophysiologist. ...

| cardiac pacing |
A pacemaker (or "artificial pacemaker", so as not to be confused with the heart's natural pacemaker) is a medical device designed to regulate the beating of the heart. ...
