| branch to atrioventricular node | The atrioventricular branches or the nodal branches, the small arteries supplying the atrioventricular node; they usually arise from the right coronary artery where it starts to descend the posterior interventricular sulcus. Synonym: ramus nodi atrioventricularis, atrioventricular nodal branch, branch to atrioventricular node. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| right crus of atrioventricular bundle | The right leg or branch of the atrioventricular bundle which diverges from the left crus just below the membranous portion of the interventricular septum to descend the septal wall of the right ventricle and ramify beneath the endocardium. Synonym: crus dextrum fasciculi atrioventricularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| 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) |
| aortico-left ventricular tunnel | Congenital connection between the aorta above exit of coronary arteries and the left ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apicoposterior branch of left superior pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> Drains apicoposterior bronchopulmonary segment of superior lobe of left lung. Synonym: ramus apicoposterior venae pulmonalis sinistrae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrial function, left | The haemodynamic and electrophysiological action of the left atrium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| auricle of left atrium | The small conical projection from the left atrium of the heart. Synonym: auricula sinistra, left auricular appendage. (05 Mar 2000) |
