| silent myocardial infarction | Infarction that produces none of the characteristic symptoms and signs of myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| 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) |
| acute splenic tumour | Acute splenitis, enlargement, and softening of the spleen, usually due to bacteraemia or severe bacterial toxaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal-splenic venous shunt | Anastomosis of the splenic vein to the left renal vein, usually end-to-side, for control of portal hypertension. Synonym: renal-splenic venous shunt. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic | <anatomy> Pertaining to the spleen. (27 Sep 1997) |
| splenic anaemia | <syndrome> Chronic congestive splenomegaly that occurs primarily in children as a sequel to hypertension in the portal or splenic veins, usually as a result of thrombosis of the veins; anaemia, splenomegaly, and irregular episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding are usually observed, with ascites, jaundice, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia developing in various conbinations. Synonym: Banti's disease, splenic anaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic apoplexy | Peracute anthrax often seen in ruminants, in which death occurs very quickly after the appearance of the first signs of the disease; grossly enlarged spleen and capillary haemorrhages are often the only lesions. (05 Mar 2000) |
