| 설명 | 사슬알균감염 후 생기는 심장판막병이다. 원인은 A군 -용혈사슬알에 의한 인두염후 일종의 면역반응으로 발병한다. 진단은 존의 기준에 의한다. (1) 주요기준은 관절염 심장염(심장비대, 심장잡음, 심장기능상실 등) 무도증: 무당이 춤을 추는 것 같은 행동의 발작증세. 연변홍반: 빨간 테두리를 가진 피부병변은 피하결절(subcutaneous nodule): 피부 밑에 생긴 결절, (2)참고 기준은 열, 관절통, EKG상 PR연장: 심전도 소견 급성기 반응물질(예: ESR, CRP)의 상승, 류마티스열 치료는 페니실린으로 치료하고 심장의 후유증 또한 페니실린으로 예방한다. |

| 영문 | heart failure | 한글 | 심장기능상실 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 몸의 조직이나 기관에서 대사에 필요한 만큼 충분한 양의 혈액을 공급할 수 없을 정도로 심장기능이 저하되어 있는 상태이다. 심장기능상실은 심근이 수축할 능력이 저하되었을 때나 심장에 심박출을 하기 위한 압력이 정상보다 증가되어 정상의 심장의 수축으로는 충분한 양의 혈액을 공급할 수 없는 경우, 그리고 심장근육, 심장에 걸리는 압력은 정상이나 심장박동의 이상에 의해서 정상적인 수축이 불가능할 경우에 생긴다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 심장의 전기적 자극이 병적인 상태로 발생하지 않거나, 혹은 심실로 잘 전해지지 않을 때 사용한다. 일시적 심장박동기와 영구적 심장박동기가 있으며, 각기 쓰이는 용도는 병에 따라 다르다. 요즘에 나오는 심장 박동기는 건전지의 수명도 반영구적이며, 밖에서 조정할 수 있고, 운동이나 스트레스 상황에 대한 심장의 빠른 운동에도 잘 적응할 수 있도록 만들어져 있다. |

| cat scan | <investigation, procedure, radiology> A special radiographic technique that uses a computer to assimilate multiple X-ray images into a 2 dimentional cross-sectional image. This can reveal many soft tissue structures not shown by conventional radiography. Scans may also be dynamic in which a movement of a dye is tracked. Cuts may be 5 or 10 mm apart or, in some instances even further apart. A special dye material may be injected into the patients vein prior to the scan to help differentiate abnormal tissue and vasculature. The machine rotates 180 |

| meckel scan | <radiology> Agent: Tc-99m pertechnetate, prep: pentagastrin -- increase acid production, cimetidine -- block secretion of acid, glucagon -- decrease bowel activity see also: Meckel diverticulum (12 Dec 1998) |
| vq scan | <investigation> A nuclear medicine test that involves the inhalation of a radioactive gas and the injection of a radioactive compound into the bloodstream. A special camera measures the radioactive compound and generates a image of the lungs. Comparisons are made between the images generated. Pulmonary embolism can be diagnosed using this procedure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| PET scan | Positron Emission Tomography. A scanning device which uses low-dose radioactive sugar to measure brain activity. This is a limited-use diagnostic tool. (16 Dec 1997) |
| MRI scan | A special imaging technique used to image internal stuctures of the body, particularly the soft tissues. An MRI image is often superior to a normal X-ray image. It uses the influence of a large magnet to polarize hydrogen atoms in the tissues and then monitors the summation of the spinning energies within living cells. Images are very clear and are particularly good for soft tissue, brain and spinal cord, joints and abdomen. These scans may be used for detecting some cancers or for following their progress. Acronym: MRI (11 Nov 1997) |
| MUGA scan | This noninvasive test uses radioactive tracers to delineate the hearts chambers and major vessels. It may be used to detect a heart attack, heart muscle function and coronary artery disease. The patient receives a radioactive tracer by injection (into a vein) and then the heart is imaged using a gamma camera. The heart is imaged before and after exercise. This test may be used to detect and evaluate atrial septal defect, dilated cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, Lyme disease (secondary), mitral stenosis and superior vena cava syndrome. (27 Sep 1997) |

| scan | A type of imaging, for example ultrasound, MR, CT, scintigram. (16 Dec 1997) |
| scan rate | <microscopy> The number of horizontal-scan lines per frame and vertical scans per second that are repeated in video, for example, 525/60, 625/50. In 525/60, 2: 1 interlaced video, the V scan is repeated at the field rate (which is half of the frame rate for 2: 1 interlaced video) so that 525 H scans take place 30 times a second. The H-scan rate is therefore 525 x 30 = 15.75 kHz. With 525/60, 1: 1 interlace, the H-scan rate would be twice this value. (05 Aug 1998) |
| sector scan | In ultrasonography, a system in which the transducer or transmitted ultrasound beam is rotated through an angle, resulting in a pie-shaped image. (05 Mar 2000) |
| slow scan | <microscopy> A system of video scanning in which the time used to read each line has been increased in comparison to standard video. The bandwidth needed to faithfully transmit or record the signal is reduced in inverse ratio to the scanning time. Slow scan allows the video signal to be transmitted over a telephone line, or line scans to be registered on a chart recorder. (19 Jan 1998) |
| nuclear bone scan | A nuclear medicine test that involves the introduction of a radioactive compound into the blood stream. The radioactive compound acts as a tracer and allows for the imaging of the bony skeleton. (27 Sep 1997) |
| nuclear scan: adrenals | A nuclear scan that images the adrenal glands after a radioactive tracer is injected into the bloodstream. This test is useful in detecting a pheochromocytoma, particularly if it not within the adrenal gland. (27 Sep 1997) |
| duplex Doppler scan | A method of visualizing and selectively assessing the flow patterns of peripheral arteries and veins using ultrasound imaging and pulsed Doppler. (05 Mar 2000) |
| testicular scan | <radiology> Tc-99m pertechnetate 30 mCi, interpretation: torsion = cold defect, epididymo-orchitis = hot spot, trauma = hot or cold (12 Dec 1998) |
