| 설명 | 심장 내부의 인공판막. 심장의 판막이 어떤 원인으로 손상되어 판막의 기능이 유지될 수 없을 때 이 판막을 성형해서 다시 사용하거나(판막성형술) 인공판막으로 치환(판막치환술)해 주어야 한다. 인공판막에는 크게 두 가지가 있는데 하나는 돼지나 소 등의 생체조직으로 만든 조직판막이고 다른 하나는 금속재질로 만든 기계판막이다. 이 두 판막은 서로 장단점이 있는데, 조직판막은 수명이 10년 정도로 짧은 단점이 있는 반면에 판막 주위에 혈액응고가 적어 항응고제 복용이 필요 없고, 손상이 서서히 일어난다. |

| 설명 | 관 혹은 통로에 있는 막과 같은 주름. 내용물의 역류를 막는다. 1.심장판막: 우심방과 우심실사이의 삼첨판, 좌심방과 좌심실사이의 승모판, 우심실과 폐동맥사이의 폐동맥반월판, 좌심실과 대동맥사이의 대동맥반월판이 있다. 2.정맥판막: 정맥에서 발견되는 내막의 작은 첨 혹은 주름. 탄력성이 적어 역류되기 쉬운 정맥혈의 흐름을 역류없이 정상적인 방향으로 지속되도록 해준다. 3.인공판막: 심장판막부족이나 심장판막협착이 있어 더이상 자신의 판막으로는 생존이 불가능할 때 대신 이식하게 되는 인공판막을 말한다. 크게 동물의 조직을 이용한 것과 그렇지 않은 것으로 양분할 수 있다. 동물의 조직을 이용한 것은 주로 돼지나 소의 판막 또는 심외막 등을 이용하며, 그렇지 않은 것은 특수한 금속을 이용하여 만든다. |

| atrioventricular | <anatomy, cardiology> Pertaining to an atrium of the heart and to a ventricle. (16 Dec 1997) |
|---|---|
| atrioventricular band | The bundle of modified cardiac muscle fibres that begins at the atrioventricular node as the trunk of the atrioventricular bundle and passes through the right atrioventricular fibrous ring to the membranous part of the interventricular septum where the trunk divides into two branches, the right crus of the atrioventricular bundle and the left crus of the atrioventricular bundle; the two crura ramify in the subendocardium of their respective ventricles. Synonym: fasciculus atrioventricularis, atrioventricular band, Gaskell's bridge, His' band, His' bundle, bundle of His, Keith's bundle, Kent's bundle, Kent-His bundle, ventriculonector. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular block | <cardiology> A conduction disturbance that results in the inappropriate delay (or complete inability) of a electrical impulse, generated in the atria, to reach the ventricles (via the atrioventricular node). Clinical types are divided into first (nonserious), second and third degree (most serious). Some drugs may precipitate atrioventricular block (for example clonidine, methyldopa, verapamil). A permanent pacemaker may be required for a third degree (complete) heart block. (02 Jan 1998) |
| atrioventricular bundle | The bundle of modified cardiac muscle fibres that begins at the atrioventricular node as the trunk of the atrioventricular bundle and passes through the right atrioventricular fibrous ring to the membranous part of the interventricular septum where the trunk divides into two branches, the right crus of the atrioventricular bundle and the left crus of the atrioventricular bundle; the two crura ramify in the subendocardium of their respective ventricles. Synonym: fasciculus atrioventricularis, atrioventricular band, Gaskell's bridge, His' band, His' bundle, bundle of His, Keith's bundle, Kent's bundle, Kent-His bundle, ventriculonector. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular canal | The canal in the embryonic heart leading from the common sinuatrial chamber to the ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular canal cushions | A pair of mounds of embryonic connective tissue covered by endothelium, bulging into the embryonic atrioventricular canal; located one dorsally and one ventrally, they grow together and fuse with each other and with the lower edge of the septum primum, dividing the originally single canal into right and left atrioventricular orifices. Synonym: endocardial cushions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular conduction | Forward conduction of the cardiac impulse from atria to ventricles via the A-V node or any bypass tract, represented in the electrocardiogram by the P-R interval. P-H conduction time is from the onset of the P wave to the first high frequency component of the His bundle electrogram (normally 119 ± 38 msec); A-H conduction time is from the onset of the first high frequency component of the atrial electrogram to the first high frequency component of the His bundle electrogram (normally 92 ± 38 msec); P-A conduction time is from the onset of the P wave to the onset of the atrial electrogram (normally 27 ± 18 msec). (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular conduction abnormalities | <cardiology, physiology> Any condition which involves abnormal (blocked, delayed or aberrant) electrical conduction through the atrioventricular node (for example atrioventricular block). Some medications may precipitate atrioventricular conduction abnormalities. (02 Jan 1998) |
| atrioventricular connections | The five distinct and discrete ways in which the atrial chambers may be connected to the ventricles are concordant, discordant, ambiguous, double inlet, and univentricular. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular dissociation | Any situation in which atria and ventricles are activated and contract independently, as in complete A-V block, more specifically, the dissociation between atria and ventricles that results from slowing of the atrial pacemaker or acceleration of the ventricular pacemaker at nearly equal (rarely equal) rates, each depolarising its own chamber, thus interfering with depolarisation by the other (interference-dissociation). (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular extrasystole | An extrasystole arising from the "junctional" tissues, either the A-V node or A-V bundle. Synonym: junctional extrasystole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular gradient | The diastolic pressure difference between the atrium and ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular groove | A groove on the outer surface of the heart marking the division between the atria and the ventricles. Synonym: sulcus coronarius, atrioventricular groove, atrioventricular sulcus, auriculoventricular groove, coronary sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular interval | The time between depolarisation of the atria and of the ventricle. Synonym: atrioventricular interval. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular junctional 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) |
