| 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) |
| cardiorespiratory | Relating to the heart and lungs and their function. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cardiorespiratory 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) |
| cardiorrhaphy | Suture of the heart wall. Origin: cardio-+ G. Rhaphe, suture (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiorrhexis | Rupture of the heart wall. Origin: cardio-+ G. Rhexis, rupture (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardioscope | <instrument> An instrument for inspecting the interior of the living heart. Origin: cardio-+ G. Skopeo, to view (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardioselective | Having greater activity on heart tissue than on other tissue. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cardioselectivity | The relatively predominant cardiovascular pharmacologic effect of a drug with multipharmacologic effects; used especially when describing beta-blocking agents. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiospasm | Constriction of the lower portion of the food pipe (oesophagus) due to inability of the muscles to relax. Symptoms include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, vomiting and heartburn. Treatment includes oesophageal dilation using special instruments or medications (for example nitroglycerin, calcium channel blockers). (27 Sep 1997) |
| cardiosphygmograph | An instrument for recording graphically the movements of the heart and the radial pulse. Origin: cardio-+ G. Sphygmos, pulse, + grapho, to write (05 Mar 2000) |
