|---|---|
| ischemic optic neuropathy | Optic nerve neuropathy secondary to hypoperfusion of the low pressure posterior ciliary arteries supplying the optic nerve head (nonarteritic) or to temporal arteritis (arteritic). (05 Mar 2000) |
| ischemic preconditioning | A technique in which tissue is rendered resistant to the deleterious effects of prolonged ischemia and reperfusion by prior exposure to brief, repeated periods of vascular occlusion. (am j physiol 1995 may;268(5 pt 2):h2063-7, abstract) (12 Dec 1998) |
| ischemic preconditioning, myocardial | Exposure of myocardial tissue to brief, repeated periods of vascular occlusion in order to render the myocardium resistant to the deleterious effects of ischemia or reperfusion. The period of pre-exposure and the number of times the tissue is exposed to ischemia and reperfusion vary, the average being 3 to 5 minutes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| optic neuropathy, ischemic | A severely blinding disease resulting from loss of the arterial blood supply to the optic nerve as a result of occlusive disorders of the nutrient arteries. Optic neuropathy is divided into anterior, which causes a pale oedema of the optic disk, and posterior, in which the optic disk is not swollen and the abnormality occurs between the globe and the optic chiasm. Ischemic anterior optic neuropathy usually causes a loss of vision that may be sudden or occur over several days; ischemic posterior optic neuropathy is uncommon and the diagnosis depends largely upon exclusion of other causes, chiefly stroke and brain tumour. (12 Dec 1998) |
| transient ischemic attack | A sudden focal loss of neurological function with complete recovery usually within 24 hours; caused by a brief period of inadequate perfusion in a portion of the territory of the carotid or vertebral basilar arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anomalous mitral arcade | Short chordae tendineae extending from both papillary muscles to the central portion of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve and resulting in stenosis or incompetence of the valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| billowing mitral valve syndrome | <syndrome> The clinical constellation of findings with or without symptoms due to prolapse of the mitral valve: a nonejection systolic click accentuated in the standing posture, sometimes multiple, sometimes with mitral regurgitation occurring relatively late in systole, and accompanied by echocardiographic evidence of the mitral valve prolapse, usually with thickened leaflets of the valve. Symptoms are non-specific and may include vague chest pains and dyspnea on exertion. Synonym: billowing mitral valve syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parachute mitral valve | Congenital deformity of the mitral valve characterised by the presence of a single papillary muscle from which the chordae of both valve leaflets divide; thus the resemblance to a parachute; the condition often produces a stenosis as the combined result of the tugging action of the chordae on and the subsequent narrowing between the leaflets. Synonym: parachute deformity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mitral | Pertaining to a miter; resembling a miter; as, the mitral valve between the left auricle and left ventricle of the heart. Origin: Cf. F. Mitral. See Miter. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| mitral area | The region of the chest over the apex of the heart, where the sounds, normal or pathologic, produced at the mitral valves are usually heard most distinctly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mitral cells | Large nerve cell's in the olfactory lobe of the brain whose dendrites synapse (in glomeruli) with axons of the olfactory receptor cell's of the nasal mucous membrane, and whose axons pass centrally in the olfactory tract to the olfactory cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mitral commissurotomy | Opening the narrowed mitral orifice for the relief of mitral stenosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mitral facies | The pink, slightly cyanosed cheeks of patients with mitral valve disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mitral gradient | The diastolic pressure difference between the left atrium and left ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
