| persistent atrioventricular canal | A condition that is caused when the atrial and ventricular septa fail to meet, as in normal development, resulting in a low atrial and high ventricular septal defect or a common atrioventricular canal. Synonym: endocardial cushion defect. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| complete atrioventricular dissociation | A-V dissociation not interrupted by ventricular captures. Synonym: complete A-V block. (05 Mar 2000) |
| concordant atrioventricular connections | Connections in which the atrial chambers connect to the morphologically appropriate ventricles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior cusp of atrioventricular valve | The posterior leaflet of either the tricuspid or mitral valves. Synonym: cuspis posterior valvae atrioventricularis dextrae/sinistrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| discordant atrioventricular connections | Connections in which each atrium is connected with a morphologically inappropriate ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| double inlet atrioventricular connections | Connections in which both atrial chambers connect to the same ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incomplete atrioventricular block | Impulses penetrate the atrioventricular junction in some relation to the ventricular rate. Synonym: incomplete atrioventricular block. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incomplete atrioventricular dissociation | A-V dissociation interrupted by ventricular captures. (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) |
| trunk of atrioventricular bundle | The singular initial portion (stem) of the atrioventricular bundle which passes from the atrioventricular node into the right trigone of the fibrous skeleton of the heart and along the periphery of the membranous interventricular septum; upon reaching the muscular interventricular septum, the trunk terminates by dividing into the right and left crura of the atrioventricular bundle. Synonym: truncus fascicularis atrioventricularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left atrioventricular valve | <anatomy, cardiology> The heart valve that divides the left atrium and left ventricle. During left atrial contraction, the mitral valve opens to allow blood to flow into the left ventricle. Upon closure, the mitral valve prohibits the regurgitation of blood back into the left atrium. The mitral valve is the only heart valve that has only 2 valve cusps (all others have 3). (13 Nov 1997) |
| left crus of atrioventricular bundle | The left leg or branch of the atrioventricular bundle which separates from the atrioventricular bundle just below the membranous portion of the interventricular septum to descend the septal wall of the left ventricle and begins to ramify subendocardially. Synonym: crus sinistrum fasciculi atrioventricularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiofollicular mediastinal lymph node hyperplasia | Solitary masses of lymphoid tissue containing concentric perivascular aggregates of lymphocytes, occurring usually in the mediastinum or hilar region of young adults; similar changes have been reported outside the mediastinum and, if associated with interfollicular sheets of plasma cells, may progress to lymphoma or plasmacytoma. Synonym: angiofollicular mediastinal lymph node hyperplasia, Castleman's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior tibial lymph node | A small inconstant lymph node in front of the interosseous membrane along the upper part of the anterior tibial vessels. Synonym: nodus tibialis anterior, anterior tibial node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior tibial node | A small inconstant lymph node in front of the interosseous membrane along the upper part of the anterior tibial vessels. Synonym: nodus tibialis anterior, anterior tibial node. (05 Mar 2000) |
