| atrioventricular 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) |
|---|---|
| atrioventricular interval | The time between depolarisation of the atria and of the ventricle. Synonym: atrioventricular interval. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular junctional bigeminy | Paired beats, each pair consisting of an A-V nodal extrasystole coupled to a beat of the dominant, usually sinus, rhythm. Synonym: nodal bigeminy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular junctional rhythm | The cardiac rhythm when the heart is controlled by the A-V junction (including node); arising in the A-V junction, the impulse ascends to the atria and descends to the ventricles, each at varying speeds depending on site of the pacemaker. Synonym: A-V junctional rhythm, nodal bradycardia, nodal rhythm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular junctional tachycardia | Tachycardia originating in the A-V junction. Synonym: A-V junctional tachycardia, nodal tachycardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular nodal branch | 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) |
| atrioventricular nodal extrasystole | A premature beat arising from the A-V junction and leading to a simultaneous or almost simultaneous contraction of atria and ventricles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular node | <cardiology> The location in the heart's conduction system, between the atria and the ventricles, which conducts the normal electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricles. (27 Sep 1997) |
| atrioventricular septum | The small part of the membranous septum of the heart just above the septal cusp of the tricuspid valve that separates the right atrium from the left ventricle. Synonym: septum atrioventriculare, pars membranacea septi atriorum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrioventricular sulcus | 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) |
| atrioventricular valves | See: tricuspid valve, mitral valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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 atrioventricular valve | <anatomy> This heart valve, named for its three cusps (leaflets), divides the right atrium and the right ventricle. When the right atrium contracts blood flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. On closure, the tricuspid prohibits the backflow of blood into the right atrium. (19 Jan 1998) |
| 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) |
