| coronary nodal rhythm | Formerly applied by some authorities to the electrocardiographic pattern of normal upright P waves in leads I and II with a short P-R interval. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sinoatrial nodal artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch usually of the right coronary artery that supplies the sinuatrial node. Synonym: sinus node artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sinuatrial nodal artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch usually of the right coronary artery that supplies the sinuatrial node. Synonym: sinus node artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodal | Relating to any node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodal bigeminy | Paired beats, each pair consisting of an A-V nodal extrasystole coupled to a beat of the dominant, usually sinus, rhythm. Synonym: nodal bigeminy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodal bradycardia | The cardiac rhythm when the heart is controlled by the A-V junction (including node); arising in the A-V junction, the impulse ascends to the atria and descends to the ventricles, each at varying speeds depending on site of the pacemaker. Synonym: A-V junctional rhythm, nodal bradycardia, nodal rhythm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodal fever | <dermatology> A disorder characterised by the formation of tender, red nodules on the front of the legs. Erythema nodosum primarily affects women and has been associated with certain infections: coccidiomycosis, fungal infections, tuberculosis, hepatitis B and syphilis. A sensitivity to a particular drug (for example penicillin, progestin, birth control pills) may also manifest this disorder. Other disorders and conditions that have been associated with erythema nodosum include: leukaemia, sarcoidosis, rheumatic fever, ulcerative colitis and pregnancy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| nodal plane | The plane corresponding to the optical centre of a simple lens. See: nodal point. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodal point | One of two point's in a compound optical system so related that a ray directed toward the first point will appear to have passed through the second point parallel to its original direction. Synonym: axial point. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodal rhythm | The cardiac rhythm when the heart is controlled by the A-V junction (including node); arising in the A-V junction, the impulse ascends to the atria and descends to the ventricles, each at varying speeds depending on site of the pacemaker. Synonym: A-V junctional rhythm, nodal bradycardia, nodal rhythm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodal tachycardia | Tachycardia originating in the A-V junction. Synonym: A-V junctional tachycardia, nodal tachycardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodal tissue | See: atrioventricular node, sinuatrial node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tachycardia, atrioventricular nodal reentry | A tachycardia characterised by rates between 150 and 250 beats per minute and a qrs complex of supraventricular origin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tachycardia, sinoatrial nodal reentry | A tachycardia arising from the sinus node region and characterised by rates between 115 and 140 beats per minute. It is paroxysmal rather than constant. (12 Dec 1998) |
| extra nodal lymphoma | <oncology, tumour> Literally outside the lymph nodes, but exhibiting the characteristics of lymph node cancer. A term used to describe the extent and site of disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
