| atrial ventricular canal defect | A defect caused by deficient or absent septal tissue immediately above and below the normal level of the atrioventricular valves, including the region normally occupied by the A-V septum in hearts with two ventricles. The A-V valves are abnormal to a varying degree. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| birth defect | Defect present at birth; sometimes referred to as congenital defect. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular septal defect | <cardiology, embryology> A congenital heart defect where an abnormal opening exists in the ventricular septum. Blood flows from the higher pressure left ventricle (through the defect) into the right ventricle. (12 Jan 1998) |
| Gerbode defect | <cardiology, embryology> A defect in the interventricular portion of the membranous septum, associated with a communication between the right ventricle and the right atrium through an abnormality in the tricuspid valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mass defect | <chemistry, radiobiology> Of a nucleus, the difference between the sum of the masses of the constituent nucleons and the mass of the nucleus. (16 Dec 1997) |
| partial endocardial cushion defect | <radiology> Incomplete endocardial cushion defect components: ostium primum atrial septal defect, cleft in anterior mitral valve findings: right AV valve is usually normal, with or without mitral insufficiency, communication between LA_RA or LV-RA, occasionally LV-RV Cf: complete endocardial cushion defect (12 Dec 1998) |
| relative afferent pupillary defect | An asymmetry of the pupillomotor input between the two eyes; tested by alternating the light from one eye to the other and comparing the direct light reactions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metaphysial fibrous cortical defect | A small (less than 2 to 3 cm in diameter) fibrous cortical d. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complete endocardial cushion defect | <radiology> Arteriovenous canal components: low atrial septal defect (ostium primum), high VSD, cleft anterior leaflet of mitral valve, cleft septal leaflet of tricuspid valve, one AV valve common to RV and LV with 5-6 leaflets findings: 4-chamber enlargement (R greater than L), mitral insufficiency, associated with congestive heart failure and Eisenmenger syndrome, gooseneck deformity on angiogram (elongation and narrowing of the LV outflow tract during diastole) see also: endocardial cushion defect, partial endocardial cushion defect (12 Dec 1998) |
| congenital defect | A birth defect. (12 Dec 1998) |
| congenital ectodermal defect | Incomplete development of the epidermis and skin appendages; the skin is smooth and hairless, the facies abnormal, and the teeth and nails may be affected; sweating may be deficient. Synonym: congenital ectodermal dysplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coupling defect | See: familial goiter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postinfarction ventricular septal defect | A defect developed in the ventricular septum resulting from rupture of an acute myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| salt-losing defect | Renal tubular abnormality causing loss of sodium in the urine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septal defect, atrial | A hole in the septum, the wall, between the atria, the upper chambers of the heart. Commonly called an asd. Asds are a major class of heart deformity that is present at birth (congenital cardiac malformation). (12 Dec 1998) |
