Medical Terminology Cardiovascular Disease angi/o – blood vessels arteri/o - artery brad/y—slow cardi/o - heart cereb/o - cerebellum cor—heart cyan/o—blue gram/o - record hemangl/o – blood vessels my/o—muscle orrhex’s - rupture phleb/o – blood, veins scler/o—hard tach/y—fast thromb/o—clot vas/o – duct/blood vessel varix—swollen vein vena—vein xanta/o—yellow C.V. Diagnostic Terms Aneurysm – weakened portion of the blood vessel wall Arteriosclerosis – buildup of plaque on walls of artery, causes blood vessels to narrow Atheroma – degeneration of artery walls caused by accumulation of fatty deposits, restricting circulation Atherosclerosis – thickening of blood vessels caused by plaque cardiac arrest – sudden unexpected loss of heart function, breathing, and consciousness cardiac cachexia – unintentional severe weight loss, malnutrition, wasting, caused by heart disease cardiomegaly – enlargement of the heart cerebrovascular accident (CVA) – stroke; damage to the brain from interruption of blood supply congestive heart failure – heart doesn’t pump blood properly (ventricles) coronary heart disease (CHD) – coronary arteries narrow and decrease in blood flow dyslipidemia – abnormally elevated cholesterol or lipids in the blood embolism – obstruction of blood vessel due to blood clot or other foreign matter stuck in the blood stream fatty streaks – first visible (to the naked eye) lesion in the development of atherosclerosis homocysteine – homologue of amino acid cysteine, high levels related to early development of heart disease hypercholesterolemia – high amounts of cholesterol in the blood hyperlipoproteinemia – high levels of lipids in the blood hypertension (HTN) – force of blood against the walls of the arteries is too high ischemia – inadequate blood supply to an organ myocardial infarction (MI) – heart attack; blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle myocarditis – inflammation of the heart muscle plaque – cholesterol, fatty substances, cell waste, fibrin, etc. thrombus – blood clot that forms in a vein C.V. Symptomatic Terms angina syndrome; angina pectoris – severe chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart anoxia – absence of oxygen asystole – cardiac arrest rhythm; no discernible electric activity on the ECG monitor bradycardia – abnormally slow heart rhythm cardia edema – increased pressures in the heart, causes swelling claudication – cramping pain in the leg during exercise caused by obstruction of the arteries ischemia – inadequate blood supply to an organ cerebral – inadequate blood flow to the brain myocardial – inadequate blood flow to the heart palpitation – rapid, strong, irregular heartbeat due to agitation, exercise, illness systole – phase of heartbeat when blood pumped from chambers into the arteries tachycardia – abnormally rapid heart rate vasoconstriction – constriction of blood vessels, increases BP vasodepression – opening of blood vessels, decrease BP xanthoma – fatty deposits beneath the skin C.V. Chart Abbreviations CABG – coronary artery bypass graft AHA – American heart association AI – adequate intake ASHD – arteriosclerotic heart disease Atr - atrium AV - arteriovenous BP – blood pressure Brady - slow BV – blood volume CAD – coronary artery disease Cardio - heart CBC – complete blood count CCR – continuity of care record CCU – coronary care unit CHD – coronary heart disease CHF – congestive heart failure Chol - cholesterol CP – cerebral palsy CPR – cardiopulmonary resuscitation CVA – cerebrovascular accident ECG, EKG - electrocardiogram FFA – free fatty acid Fib - fibrilation HCVD – hypertensive cardiovascular disease HTN, HPN - hypertension MI – myocardial infarction MS – multiple sclerosis MVR – mitral valve regurgitation HTG - hypertriglyceridemia OHS – obesity hypoventilation syndrome PA – prolonged apnea PT – patient, physical therapy, prothrombin RHD – rheumatic heart disease SOB – shortness of breath Tach - fast TG - triglyceride Throm - thrombin Vent – ventilation, ventricular
