| atrial-well technique | An obsolete semi-closed surgical technique for repairing atrial septal defects and other cardiac abnormalities. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| receptors, atrial natriuretic factor | Cell surface proteins that bind atrial natriuretic factor with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behaviour of cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| paroxysmal atrial tachycardia | Bouts of rapid, regular heart beating originating in the atrium (upper chamber of the heart). Due to abnormalities in the av node relay station that lead to rapid firing of electrical impulses from the atrium which bypass the av node under certain conditions. These conditions include alcohol excess, stress, caffeine, overactive thyroid or excessive thyroid hormone intake, and certain drugs. Pat is an example of an arrhythmia where the abnormality is in the electrical system of the heart, while the heart muscle and valves may be normal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| medial atrial vein | A vein that drains deep portions of the parietal and occipital lobes; it runs in the medial wall of the lateral ventricle to empty into the internal cerebral vein or the great cerebral vein. Synonym: vena ventriculi lateralis medialis, medial atrial vein, medial vein of lateral ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multifocal atrial tachycardia | A rapid heart rate that is generated from multiple locations within the atria. Multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT) tends to be in the range of 100 to 180 beats per minute. MAT can be seen in association with COPD, pneumonia, CHF, lung cancer, diabetes, pulmonary embolism, theophylline toxicity, coronary artery disease or digoxin toxicity. Origin: Gr. Kardia = heart (27 Sep 1997) |
| heart septal defects, atrial | Defects in the septum between the atria of the heart, due to failure of fusion between either the septum secundum or the septum primum and the endocardial cushions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| septum, atrial | The wall between the two upper chambers (the right and left atrium) of the heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
| subsidiary atrial pacemaker | Secondary source for rhythmic control of the heart, available for controlling cardiac activity if the sinoatrial pacemaker fails; located within the crista terminalis and atrial free wall near the inferior vena cava. (05 Mar 2000) |
| defect, atrial septal | 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 congenital cardiac malformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| intra-atrial | Within one or both of the atria of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intra-atrial block | Impaired conduction through the atria, manifested by widened and often notched P waves in the electrocardiogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intra-atrial conduction | Conduction of the cardiac impulse through the atrial myocardium, represented by the P wave in the electrocardiogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intra-atrial conduction time | The total duration of electrical activity of the atria in one cardiac cycle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tachycardia, ectopic atrial | A tachycardia originating in the atrial myocardium and characterised by rates between 135 and 175 beats per minute. (12 Dec 1998) |
