| dorsal veins of clitoris | See: deep dorsal vein of clitoris, superficial dorsal veins of clitoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| fascia of clitoris | Fibrous tissue comparable to the fascia of the penis. Synonym: fascia clitoridis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frenulum of clitoris | The line of union of the inner-laminae portions of the labia minora on the undersurface of the glans clitoridis. Synonym: frenulum clitoridis, frenulum preputii clitoridis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortico-left ventricular tunnel | Congenital connection between the aorta above exit of coronary arteries and the left ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apicoposterior branch of left superior pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> Drains apicoposterior bronchopulmonary segment of superior lobe of left lung. Synonym: ramus apicoposterior venae pulmonalis sinistrae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrial function, left | The haemodynamic and electrophysiological action of the left atrium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| auricle of left atrium | The small conical projection from the left atrium of the heart. Synonym: auricula sinistra, left auricular appendage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bilateral left-sidedness | A syndrome in which normally unpaired organs develop more symmetrically in mirror image; two spleens, one on each side, are usually present, and cardiovascular anomalies are common. Synonym: polysplenia syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac notch of left lung | The notch in the anterior border of the superior lobe of the left lung which accommodates the pericardium. Synonym: incisura cardiaca pulmonis sinistri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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 function, left | The haemodynamic and electrophysiological action of the left ventricle. Its measurement is an important aspect of the clinical evaluation of patients with heart disease to determine the effects of the disease on cardiac performance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| right or left lateral decubitus film | A radiograph exposed with the subject in the decubitus position; named for the side that is dependent. Synonym: right or left lateral decubitus film. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right-to-left shunt | The passage of blood from the right side of the heart into the left (as through a septal defect), or from the pulmonary artery into the aorta (as through a patent ductus arteriosus); such a shunt can occur only when the pressure on the right side exceeds that in the left, as in advanced pulmonic stenosis, or when the pulmonary artery pressure exceeds aortic pressure, as in one form of Eisenmenger's syndrome or in tricuspid atresia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circumflex branch of left coronary artery | <anatomy, artery> Terminal branch (with anterior interventricular artery) of left coronary artery which runs to left and then posteriorly in the coronary groove supplying atrial and ventricular branches. Synonym: ramus circumflexus arteriae coronariae sinistrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior vein of left ventricle | Arises on the diaphragmatic surface of the heart near the apex, runs to the left and parallel to the posterior interventricular sulcus, and empties in the coronary sinus. Synonym: vena posterior ventriculi sinistri. (05 Mar 2000) |
