Q

exercise stress test

A

ergometría or prueba de esfuerzo

26
Q

transesophageal echocardiogram

A

ecocardiograma transesofágico. ultrasound exam of heart function through probe in esophagus

27
Q

cardiac catheterization

A

cateterismo cardíaco. AKA coronary angiography. catheter is used to visualize heart

28
Q

peripheral arterial disease–PAD

A

arteriopatía periférica. disease of arteries, not heart or brain; affects blood circulation

29
Q

congestive heart failure

A

insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva. inability of heart to pump enough blood

30
Q

cardiac arrest

A

paro cardíaco. sudden cessation of cardiac output, requires CPR

31
Q

palpitations

A

palpitaciones

32
Q

congenital heart defect

A

cardiopatía congénita

33
Q

heart disease

A

enfermedad de corazón/cardíaca

34
Q

thrombolytic drugs

A

dissolve blood clots

35
Q

beta blockers

A

reduce effect of stress hormones on heart (rate)

36
Q

ACE inhibitors & Angiotensin receptor blockers

A

reduce blood pressure & blood volume

37
Q

hypovolemic shock

A

amount of circulating volume (blood and fluid) is very low. heart cannot pump enough blood around body–can cause vital organs to stop working

38
Q

Coronary Artery Disease CAD

A

Damage to or narrowing of coronary arts. Hrt doesnt get enough bld. Causes angina

39
Q

Chemical cardioversion

A

Attempt to restore normal hrt rhythm with meds

40
Q

Regurgitation

A

Hrt valves leak. Cause murmur. Might mean bld is leaking back. Can cause enlrg hrt & hrt failure

41
Q

acute coronary syndrome (ACS)

A

unstable angina or heart attack

42
Q

stable angina

A

partial blockages of arteries, but stable–more common and more predictable. pain usually caused by physical exertion or emotional stress

43
Q

unstable angina

A

unstable plaques on walls of arteries that may break off and cause blockage of artery without warning i.e. at rest or at night

44
Q

conduction problems

A

heart signal is not conducted properly. causes: incomplete heart block, complete heart block, heart flutter

45
Q

atrial fibrillation

A

very fast atrial contractions resulting in heart being unable to pump properly. causes risk of clots –> embolisms, thrombosis, stroke

46
Q

ventricular fibrillation

A

heart is not pumping, only quivering, so there is no circulation which leads to death

47
Q

ventricular septal defect (VSD)

A

hole between ventricles. blood low in oxygen keeps passing through hole

48
Q

atrial septal defect (ASD)

A

hole between atria. blood low in oxygen keeps passing through hole

49
Q

myocardial infarction (MI)

A

AKA heart attack. partial or complete blockage of coronary artery, which can lead to part of heart muscle being starved of oxygen and dying

50
Q

Tensión de gases en sangre arterial

A

Arterial blood gases; measures level of pH, carbon & oxygen in blood from artery

51
Q

Estudio del flujo de sangre arterial en las venas

A

Arterial blood flow leg studies

52
Q

Arterios-clerotica

A

Arteriosclerotic Psychosis; can either be acquired or it can be inherited. It results due to factors like ageing, excessive alcohol and nicotine use, and few other factors. The arteries that get predisposed genetically have less elastic, and they also have a thin surface.

53
Q

músculo papilar anterior

A

anterior papillary muscle; papillary muscles are muscles located in the ventricles of the heart

54
Q

paro cardíaco

A

cardiac arrest

55
Q

apretazón del pecho

A

chest tightness

56
Q

rendimiento cardíaco

A

cardiac output

57
Q

derivación aortocoronaria

A

coronary artery bypass

58
Q

Electrofisiológia EP prueba cardíaca

A

Electrophysiological EP heart testing

59
Q

transesophageal echocardiogram

A

ecocardiograma transesofágico

60
Q

hole (in heart)

A

agujero, hueco

61
Q

open heart surgery

A

cirugía a corazón abierto
