| double inlet atrioventricular connections | Connections in which both atrial chambers connect to the same ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| incomplete atrioventricular block | Impulses penetrate the atrioventricular junction in some relation to the ventricular rate. Synonym: incomplete atrioventricular block. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tachycardia, atrioventricular nodal reentry | A tachycardia characterised by rates between 150 and 250 beats per minute and a qrs complex of supraventricular origin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| trunk of atrioventricular bundle | The singular initial portion (stem) of the atrioventricular bundle which passes from the atrioventricular node into the right trigone of the fibrous skeleton of the heart and along the periphery of the membranous interventricular septum; upon reaching the muscular interventricular septum, the trunk terminates by dividing into the right and left crura of the atrioventricular bundle. Synonym: truncus fascicularis atrioventricularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left atrioventricular valve | <anatomy, cardiology> The heart valve that divides the left atrium and left ventricle. During left atrial contraction, the mitral valve opens to allow blood to flow into the left ventricle. Upon closure, the mitral valve prohibits the regurgitation of blood back into the left atrium. The mitral valve is the only heart valve that has only 2 valve cusps (all others have 3). (13 Nov 1997) |
| left crus of atrioventricular bundle | The left leg or branch of the atrioventricular bundle which separates from the atrioventricular bundle just below the membranous portion of the interventricular septum to descend the septal wall of the left ventricle and begins to ramify subendocardially. Synonym: crus sinistrum fasciculi atrioventricularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
