| cardiac notch of left lung | The notch in the anterior border of the superior lobe of the left lung which accommodates the pericardium. Synonym: incisura cardiaca pulmonis sinistri. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cardiac oedema | Oedema resulting from congestive heart failure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac opening | The trumpet-shaped opening of the oesophagus into the stomach. Synonym: ostium cardiacum, cardiac opening, oesophagogastric orifice. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac orifice | The trumpet-shaped opening of the oesophagus into the stomach. Synonym: ostium cardiacum, cardiac opening, oesophagogastric orifice. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac output | A measurement of the blood flow through the heart to the systemic (and pulmonary) circulation. Cardiac output is expressed as volume of blood per unit time or litres/minute. Cardiac output can be calculated using the Fick method (oxygen consumption divided by arteriovenous oxygen difference) or by the thermodilution technique, using a Swan-Ganz catheter. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cardiac output, high | A state of elevated cardiac output. Conditions that lower peripheral vascular resistance, such as anaemia, arteriovenous fistulas, thyrotoxicosis, and pregnancy, are among the most important factors augmenting the venous return and therefore elevating cardiac output. Increased cardiac output also occurs in muscular exercise, fever, and severe anoxia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardiac output, low | A state of subnormal or depressed cardiac output, usually seen in patients with heart failure secondary to coronary artery, hypertensive, primary myocardial, valvular, or pericardial disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardiac pacemaker | An electrical device which delivers a small stimulant shock to the heart to effect cardiac contraction at a pre-determined rate. Many of today's pacemakers have two main components: the electrodes and the transducer (pulse generator). The electrodes are wires which are placed into the circulatory system and make physical contact with the heart muscle. A small electrical discharge from the pacemaker electrode stimulates the muscular wall of the heart to contract, thus pumping blood in an organised fashion. The transducer is a small device, usually implanted under the skin, that generates the electrical discharge at a pre-determined frequency. Transducers can monitor your heart's rate of contraction and deliver an electrical shock only when the heart is going too slow. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cardiac pacing, artificial | Regulation of the rate of contraction of the heart muscles by an artificial pacemaker. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cardiac part of stomach | The area of the stomach close to the oesophageal opening (cardiac orifice or cardia) which contains the cardiac glands. Synonym: pars cardiaca gastris, pars cardiaca ventriculi, cardia, gastric cardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac plexus | A wide-meshed network of anastomosing cardiopulmonary and splanchnic nerves arising from the afferent and autonomic nerve fibres (sympathetic) and vagus (parasympathetic) nerves, surrounding the arch of the aorta, the pulmonary artery, and continuing to the atria, ventricles, and coronary vessels. Synonym: plexus cardiacus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac polyp | Usually a rounded thrombus attached to the endocardium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac prominence | The conspicuous external bulge appearing on the ventral aspect of the human embryo as early as at the fourth week, indicative of the precocious development of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac reserve | The heart's ability to respond to demands that exceed ordinary circumstances. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cardiac rhabdomyoma | <radiology> Associated with tuberous sclerosis (12 Dec 1998) |
