| 영문 | congestive heart failure | 한글 | 울혈성심장기능상실 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 심장의 원래 기능, 즉 혈액을 말초로 보내는 펌프와 같은 기능이 거의 없어진 상태를 말한다. 피를 보내는 펌프의 역할이 멈추었으므로 심장으로 들어오는 피는 심장으로 들어오지 못하고 정맥속에서 정체하게 된다. 그리하여 혈액의 대부분이 말초의 정맥에 머물게 되어 여러 가지 증상이 나타난다. 특히 허파를 돌아 좌심방으로 들어가야하는 피가 펌프 기능이 없어져서 왼심방에 많은 피가 정체하고 있어서 들어가지 못해서 허파에 고이게 된다. 그러면 허파에 산소와 이산화탄소를 교환하는 기능이 없어져서 숨을 쉬지 못하는 결과를 낸다. 즉 숨이 차고 숨쉬기 힘든 증세가 나타난다. 또 온몸을 순환한 다음에 우심방으로 들어와야하는 피도 우심방으로 들어오지 못해서 말초에 정체하므로 온몸이 붓게 된다. |

| pulmonary arc | An obsolete term for pulmonary salient. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| pulmonary area | The region of the chest at the second left intercostal space, where sounds produced at the pulmonary valve of the right ventricle are heard most distinctly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary arteries | <anatomy> The pulmonary arteries deliver deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. They are the only arteries in the human body that carry deoxygenated blood. (27 Sep 1997) |
| pulmonary artery | <anatomy, artery> The short wide vessel arising from the conus arteriosus of the right ventricle and conveying unaerated blood to the lungs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pulmonary artery aneurysm | Aneurysm of the pulmonary artery; rare in the absence of congenital heart disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary artery banding | A surgical method of decreasing pulmonary blood flow and thereby volume overload of the left ventricle, alleviating CHF in certain congenital heart defects. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary artery sarcoma | <radiology> Rare, age: 21 - 80 (most common: 45 - 55), usual presentation: hilar mass or hilar infiltrative lesion, other findings: decreased vascular markings, atelectasis / volume loss, metastatic nodules, decreased or absent perfusion on V/Q, intravascular soft-tissue mass on CT (12 Dec 1998) |
| pulmonary aspergillosis | An inflammatory and destructive disease of the bronchi and lungs due to the presence and growth of Aspergillus fumigatus. There are four varieties: 1) a bronchial infection with allergic manifestations, in which the fungus grows in the mucus (evoked by the inflammation), which may be expectorated as yellow bronchial casts and may cause intermittent bronchial obstruction, with transient pulmonary shadows seen radiographically; asthma is often present, and bronchial wall destruction may eventually result in a proximal form of bronchiectasis; 2) aspergilloma; 3) an infection with pulmonary necrosis as a pneumonic involvement of the lung in debilitated subjects; 4) disseminated aspergillosis. Synonym: bronchopneumonic aspergillosis, pulmonary aspergillosis. Disseminated aspergillosis, a variety of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, characterised by a generalised infection of the lung with Aspergillus occurring usually in subjects with defective immune response. Invasive aspergillosis, so-called because of the peculiar predilection of Aspergillus fumigatus to invade blood vessels and cause tissue infarction; it is second only to candidiasis as a cause of opportunistic fungal infection in patients whose immune mechanisms have been suppressed by chemotherapy.

| pulmonary atresia | Congenital absence of the normal valvular orifice into the pulmonary artery. This condition is characterised by cardiomegaly, reduced pulmonary vascularity, and right ventricular atrophy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pulmonary blastoma | A malignant neoplasm of the lung composed chiefly or entirely of immature undifferentiated cells (i.e., blast forms) with little or virtually no stroma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pulmonary branch of autonomic nervous system | Pulmonary branches of cardiac plexuses and cardiaopulmonary splanchnic nerves. Synonym: rami pulmonales systematis autonomici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary bulla | An air-filled blister on the surface of the lung, a similar abnormality within the lung presenting as a thin-walled cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary capillary wedge pressure | The pressure obtained when a catheter is passed from the right side of the heart into the pulmonary artery as far as it will go and "wedged" into an end artery. PCWP is measured by letting pulmonary blood flow guide a balloon-flotation catheter into a small pulmonary end artery. The pressure distal to the wedged catheter is an approximation of cardiac left atrial pressure. The pressure recorded with the balloon deflated is pulmonary artery pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary cavity | The portion of the thoracic cavity lying on either side of the mediastinum and occupied by a lung; the space existing when a lung is removed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary circulation | The circulation of blood through the lungs. (12 Dec 1998) |
