| inferior wall of orbit | The floor of the orbit; the shortest of the four walls of the orbit, sloping upward from the orbital margin; it is comprised of the maxilla and orbital process of the palatine bone. Synonym: paries inferior orbitae, inferior wall of orbit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior wall of tympanic cavity | The floor of the tympanic cavity; a thin plate of bone separating the tympanic cavity from the jugular fossa. Synonym: paries jugularis cavi tympani, fundus tympani, inferior wall of tympanic cavity, jugular wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac infarction | A term used to describe irreversible injury to heart muscle. Synonym: heart attack. See: infarction. Common symptoms include substernal, crushing chest pain that may radiate to the jaw or arms. Chest pains may be associated with nausea, sweating and shortness of breath. Acronym: MI (27 Sep 1997) |
| cerebral infarction | Infarction of brain tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peri-infarction block | An electrocardiographic abnormality associated with an old myocardial infarct and caused by delayed activation of the myocardium in the region of the infarct; characterised by an initial vector directed away from the infarcted region with the terminal vector directed toward it. (05 Mar 2000) |
| watershed infarction | Cortical infarction in an area where the distribution of major cerebral arteries meet or overlap. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postmyocardial infarction pericarditis | <pathology> Inflammation of the pericardium. (18 Nov 1997) |
| postmyocardial infarction syndrome | <syndrome> A complication developing several days to several weeks after myocardial infarction; its clinical features are fever, leukocytosis, chest pain, and evidence of pericarditis, sometimes with pleurisy and pneumonitis, with a strong tendency to recurrence; probably of immunopathogenetic origin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heart rupture, post-infarction | Rupture of the heart after myocardial infarction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| splenic infarction | Cell death (necrosis) of a portion or all of the spleen due to an interruption in blood flow. (27 Sep 1997) |
| infarction | 1. <cardiology> The formation of an infarct. 2. An infarct. Origin: L. Infarcire = to stuff in (18 Nov 1997) |
| inferior dental branches of inferior dental plexus | Branches passing from the inferior dental plexus to the roots of the teeth of the lower jaw. Synonym: rami dentales inferiores plexus dentalis inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gingival branches of inferior dental plexus | Branches of inferior dental plexus to the gingiva of the lower jaw. Synonym: rami gingivales inferiores plexus dentalis inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biopsy, myocardial | <investigation, procedure, surgery> A procedure which involves the removal of a small specimen of cardiac muscle tissue for microscopic analysis. This is generally performed at the same time as a cardiac catheterisation or as a very similar, yet separate, procedure. A small piece of heart tissue is taken via a small forceps inserted into the cardiac catheter site (usually threaded through a vein in the neck). This test may reveal the cause of a cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, amyloidosis or a heart transplant rejection. (21 Mar 1998) |
