| cardioplegia | Paralysis of the heart. An elective stopping of the heart using chemicals, selective hypothermia or electrical stimulation. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| cardioplegic | Relating to cardioplegia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardioplegic arrest | Stoppage of electrical and mechanical cardiac activity, used by surgeons when operating upon the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardioplegic solutions | Solutions which, upon administration, will temporarily arrest cardiac activity. They are used in the performance of heart surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardioptosia | A condition in which the heart is unduly movable and displaced downward, as distinguished from bathycardia. See: cor mobile, cor pendulum. Synonym: drop heart. Origin: cardio-+ G. Ptosis, a falling (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiopulmonary | <anatomy> Pertaining to the heart and lungs. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cardiopulmonary arrest | <cardiology> An arrest resulting in absence of cardiac and pulmonary activity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiopulmonary bypass | <procedure> This refers to the placement of the patient onto extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to bypass the heart and lungs as, for example, in open heart surgery. This device takes blood from the body, diverts it through a heart-lung machine (a pump-oxygenator) which oxygenates the blood prior to returning it to the systemic circulation under pressure. The machine does the work both of the heart (pump blood) and the lungs (supply red blood cells with oxygen). This allows the surgeon adequate time to perform primary heart surgery on a temporarily nonfunctioning heart. (20 Jun 1998) |
| cardiopulmonary murmur | <cardiology, clinical sign> An innocent extracardiac murmur, synchronous with the heart's beat but disappearing when the breath is held, believed due to movement of air in a segment of lung compressed by the contracting heart. Synonym: cardiorespiratory murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiopulmonary obstructive shock | <cardiology> This term describes a number of conditions that involve a severe disturbance of the cardiopulmonary circuit resulting in shock (inadequate delivery of oxygen to the tissues). Examples include: pulmonary embolism, pericardial tamponade, pneumothorax and constrictive pericarditis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cardiopulmonary resuscitation | <procedure> A life saving procedure that includes the timed external compression of the anterior chest wall (to stimulate blood flow) by pumping the heart, and alternating with mouth to mouth breathing to provide oxygen. Usually administered by one rescuer as 15 chest compressions to every 2 mouth-to-mouth breaths. In the case of an early heart attack, death can often be avoided if a bystander starts CPR promptly (within 5 minutes of the onset of ventricular fibrillation). When paramedics arrive, medications and/or electrical shock (cardioversion) to the heart can be administered to convert ventricular fibrillation to a normal heart rhythm. Therefore, prompt CPR and rapid paramedic respronse can improve the survival chances from a heart attack. Acronym: CPR (20 Jun 2000) |
| cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves | Visceral branches of the sympathetic trunks conveying postsynaptic sympathetic fibres to and visceral afferent fibres from viscera located above the diaphragm, mainly via the cardiac, pulmonary, and oesophageal plexuses. The cervical and upper thoracic splanchnic nerves are part of this group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiopulmonary transplantation | The simultaneous, or near simultaneous, transference of heart and lungs from one human or animal to another. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardiopyloric | Relating to the cardiac and pyloric extremities of the stomach. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiorenal | Relating to the heart and the kidney. Synonym: cardionephric, nephrocardiac, renicardiac. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiovascular system |
The entire system that circulates blood throughout the body, including the heart, veins, arteries, and blood. Its main function is to transport oxygen and nutrients to all areas of the body.

| cardiac catheterization |
Bilateral A cardiac catheterization is a test that helps the cardiologist locate narrowed or clogged arteries in the heart, check the condition of the heart valves and evaluate overall heart function. In this procedure, a very narrow tube called a catheter is put into the femoral artery and threaded up into the heart. Once the catheter reaches the heart, the doctor (usually a cardiologist) puts a special dye in the catheter to help the doctor determine the condition of the blood vessels. ...
