(31 cards)

arteriosclerosis

Front

Hardening of the arteries

Back

cardiac pacemaker

Front

Electronic device that produces a pulse to control heart deporization

Back

angina

Front

Condition in which chest pain occurs from ischemia

Back

congestive heart failure (CHF)

Front

Condition in which the heart muscle in compromised to the poin that it cannot move blood volume effectively

Back

respiration

Front

Process of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air a person breathes and the cells of the body

Back

electrocardiogram (ECG)

Front

Readout produced by placing electrodes on the anterior chest wall to record deploarization or contraction of the heart muscle; assesses the heart's rate and rhythm

Back

chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Front

Group of disorders that produce certain specific physical symptoms, including chronic productive cough, through the bronchial tubes, and shortness of breath (dyspnea)

Back

exercise stress testing

Front

Noninvasive method of determining how the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems respond to controlled increases in activity; most frequently use to diagnose or assess suspected or established cardiovascular disease

Back

dyspnea

Front

Shortness of breath

Back

ischemia

Front

Insufficient oxygenation of tissues resulting from a blocked blood vessel

Back

conducting airways

Front

Passageways and tubes that allow air to pass into or out of the lungs

Back

restrictive lung disease

Front

Pathologic reduction in the volume of air in the lungs

Back

inspiration

Front

Contraction of the muscles of respiration, resulting in an increase in the space contained within the thoracic cavity. This expansion causes the air pressure to drop inside the lungs, resulting in movement of air into the lungs

Back

myocardial infarcation

Front

Heart attack resulting from blockage by an embolus (clot) of one of the coronary arteries

Back

training zone

Front

Individual's ideal range of minimum and maximum heart rates (see target heart rate) that must be achieve for that individual to experience an aerobic training effect

Back

coronary heart disease (CHD)

Front

Arteriosclerosis, or a hardening of the arteries, affecting the coronary vessels

Back

cardiac muscle dysfunction

Front

Various pathologic conditions associated with heart failure

Back

cardiac catheterization

Front

Passage of catheter (a flexible tube) into an artery in the arm or leg, then along the artery to reach the heart and measure pressure, inject dye, or take a tissue sample

Back

obstructive lung disease

Front

Pathologic abnormality in airflow through the bronchial tubes

Back

pulmonary function test

Front

Assessment of the effectiveness of the respiratory musculature and the integrity of the airways and lung tissues to help classify the lung disease pattern as obstructive or restrictive

Back

embolus

Front

Clot formed by a substance detached from elsewhere

Back

target heart rate (THR)

Front

Appropriate heart rate to be maintained during the peak period in aerobic training; calculated as a percentage of the individual's maximum heart rate

Back

ventilation

Front

Process of inspiration and expiration; results in an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air found in the lungs and the pulmonary circulation

Back

echocardiography

Front

Technique using high-frequency ultrasound to assess the size of the hear chambers, the thickness of the chamber walls, and the motion of the chamber wall and heart values

Back

percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs)

Front

Process of mechanically dilating a blood vessel

Back

postural drainage

Front

Use of gravity through appropriate positioning and chest wall percussion to promote removal of excessive secretions from the tracheobronchial tree

Back

blood gas analysis

Front

Assessment of blood (usually arterial) to determine the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide

Back

coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)

Front

Grafting (attaching) a small artery or a leg vein to a point beyond the blockage or plaque. This bypasses the blockage, reestablishing blood flow to the heart

Back

expiration

Front

Breathing out

Back

heart failure

Front

Decrease in the pumping capability of the heart muscle

Back

spirometer

Front

Instrument measuring various volumes and airflow rates; findings are then compared with a normal scale
