| splenic infarction | Cell death (necrosis) of a portion or all of the spleen due to an interruption in blood flow. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| subendocardial myocardial infarction | Infarction that involves only the layer of muscle subjacent to the endocardium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nontransmural myocardial infarction | Necrosis of heart muscle that fails to extend from the endocardium to the epicardium, often erroneously considered relatively benign. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diaphragmatic myocardial infarction | Infarction in which the inferior or diaphragmatic wall of the heart is involved, producing indicative changes in leads II, III, and aVF in the electrocardiogram. Synonym: diaphragmatic myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infarction | 1. <cardiology> The formation of an infarct. 2. An infarct. Origin: L. Infarcire = to stuff in (18 Nov 1997) |
| inferior myocardial infarction | Infarction in which the inferior or diaphragmatic wall of the heart is involved, producing indicative changes in leads II, III, and aVF in the electrocardiogram. Synonym: diaphragmatic myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferolateral myocardial infarction | Infarction involving the inferior and lateral surfaces of the heart and producing indicative changes in the electrocardiogram in leads II, III, aVF, V5, and V6. (05 Mar 2000) |
| through-and-through myocardial infarction | Infarction that involves the whole thickness of the heart muscle from endocardium to epicardium. Synonym: through-and-through myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transmural myocardial infarction | Infarction that involves the whole thickness of the heart muscle from endocardium to epicardium. Synonym: through-and-through myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral myocardial infarction | Infarction involving only the lateral wall of the heart, producing indicative electrocardiographic changes confined to leads I, aVL, V5, and V6. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical | <anatomy> Relating to or located at the tip (an apex). (09 Oct 1997) |
| apical abscess | <dentistry> A dental abscess that occurs at the end of a root, caused by tooth decay which invades the pulp chamber of the tooth. Involvement of the pulp chamber can lead to destruction of the nerve and blood vessels which supply the tooth. These infections must be treated by root canal therapy (endodontics) or tooth extraction. (27 Sep 1997) |
| apical angle | The angle between two plane surfaces of a prism. Synonym: refracting angle of a prism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical-aortic conduit | A valved conduit between the LV apex and aorta, used to treat severe otherwise unapproachable LV outflow tract obstruction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical area | The area about the root end of a tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
