I. Definition
• Endocarditis is an infection of the endocardium or heart valves resulting from invasion of bacteria or other organisms. It may be acute, subacute or chronic. Read More »
I. Definition
• Mitral valve prolapsed is a dysfunction of the mitral valve leaflets that prevents the mitral valve from closing completely during systole. Read More »
I. Definition
• Mitral stenosis is the progressive thickening and contracture of the mitral valve leaflets and chordate tendineae that cause narrowing of the orifice and progressive obstruction to blood flow. Read More »
I. Definition
• Aortic valve stenosis is the narrowing of the orifice between the left ventricle and the aorta. Read More »
I. Definition
• Coronary artery disease results from focal narrowing of large and medium-sized coronary arteries due to intimal plaque formation. Read More »
I. Definition
• Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium, the fibroserous sac that surrounds the heart. It may be acute or chronic. Read More »
I. Definition
• Heart failure is a syndrome of pulmonary or systemic circulatory congestion caused by decreased myocardial contractility, resulting in inadequate CO to meet oxygen requirements of tissues. The incidence of heart failure increases with aging. Read More »
I. Definition
• Myocarditis is an inflammatory process involving the myocardium, can cause heart dilation, thrombi on the heart wall (mural thrombi), infiltration of circulating blood cells around the coronary vessels and between the muscle fibers, and degeneration of the muscle fibers themselves. Read More »
Ventricular Asystole is lack of QRS complexes, heartbeat, palpable pulse, and respiration. Without immediate intervention, ventricular asystole is fatal. Read More »
Ventricular Fibrillation is rapid, ineffective quivering of ventricles that may be rapidly fatal.
Characteristics: Read More »
Ventricular Tachycardia is three or more consecutive PVCs. It is considered a medical emergency because cardiac output (CO) cannot be maintained because of decreased diastolic filling. Read More »
Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) caused by increased automaticity of ventricular muscle cells. PVCs usually are not considered harmful but are concern if more than 6 occur in 1 minute, if they occur in pairs or triplets, if they are multifocal, or if they occur or near a T wave. Read More »
Atrioventricular (AV) blocks is a conduction defect within the AV junction that impairs conduction of atrial impulses to ventricular pathways. Read More »
Atrial fibrillation is disorganized and uncoordinated twitching of atrial musculature caused by overly rapid production of atrial impulses. Read More »
Atrial Tachycardia and Supraventricular Tachycardia is an abrupt onset of rapid heartbeat (palpitations), originating in the atria. Read More »
Sinus Bradycardia is a heart rate less than 60 beats per minute, originating in the sinus node.

I. Definition
• Myocardial infarction is destruction of myocardial tissue in regions of the heart abruptly deprived of adequate blood supply because of reduced coronary blood flow. Read More »
