| coronary circulation | The circulation of blood through the coronary vessels of the heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| coronary disease | Damage to the heart. Not enough blood flows through the vessels because they are blocked with fat or have become thick and hard, this harms the muscles of the heart. People with diabetes are at a higher risk of coronary disease. (09 Oct 1997) |
| coronary endarterectomy | Excision of occluding material, including intima and most of the media, from the coronary artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary failure | Acute coronary insufficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary groove | A groove on the outer surface of the heart marking the division between the atria and the ventricles. Synonym: sulcus coronarius, atrioventricular groove, atrioventricular sulcus, auriculoventricular groove, coronary sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary insufficiency | Inadequate coronary circulation leading to anginal pain. Synonym: coronarism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary ligament of knee | Portions of the articular capsule of the knee joint which connect the circumference of the menisci with the margins of the condyles of the tibia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary ligament of liver | Peritoneal reflections from the liver to the diaphragm at the margins of the bare area of the liver. Synonym: ligamentum coronarium hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary nodal rhythm | Formerly applied by some authorities to the electrocardiographic pattern of normal upright P waves in leads I and II with a short P-R interval. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary node | The uppermost part of the atrioventricular node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary occlusion | Blockage of a coronary vessel, usually by thrombosis or atheroma, often leading to myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary ostial stenosis | Narrowing of the mouths of the coronary arteries as a result of syphilitic aortitis or atherosclerosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary perfusion pressure | The pressure at which blood proceeds through the coronary circulation, mainly in diastole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary plexus | The continuation of the cardiac plexus onto the coronary arteries. Synonym: plexus coronarius cordis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary-prone behaviour | The behaviour that characterises type A personality pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
