Heart Diseases
|
D006331 |
[Pathological conditions involving the HEART including its structural and functional abnormalities.
] |
|
Heart Failure
|
D006333 |
[Heart failure involving the LEFT VENTRICLE.
, Heart failure caused by dysfunction of the MYOCARDIUM, leading to defective cardiac emptying (contraction) or filling (relaxation).
, Heart failure accompanied by EDEMA, such as swelling of the legs and ankles and congestion in the lungs.
, A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
, Heart failure involving the RIGHT VENTRICLE.

Heart Failure, Diastolic
|
D054144 |
[Heart failure caused by abnormal myocardial relaxation during DIASTOLE leading to defective cardiac filling.
] |
|
Heart Failure, Systolic
|
D054143 |
[Heart failure caused by abnormal myocardial contraction during SYSTOLE leading to defective cardiac emptying.

Heart Function Tests
|
D006334 |
[Examinations used to diagnose and treat heart conditions.
] |
|
Heart Injuries
|
D006335 |
[General or unspecified injuries to the heart.
] |
|
Heart Massage
|
D006336 |
[Rhythmic compression of the heart by pressure applied manually over the sternum (closed heart massage) or directly to the heart through an opening in the chest wall (open heart massage). It is done to reinstate and maintain circulation. (Dorland, 28th ed)
] |
|
Heart Murmurs
|
D006337 |
[Heart sounds caused by vibrations resulting from the flow of blood through the heart. Heart murmurs can be examined by HEART AUSCULTATION, and analyzed by their intensity (6 grades), duration, timing (systolic, diastolic, or continuous), location, transmission, and quality (musical, vibratory, blowing, etc).
] |
|
Heart Neoplasms
|
D006338 |
[Tumors in any part of the heart. They include primary cardiac tumors and metastatic tumors to the heart. Their interference with normal cardiac functions can cause a wide variety of symptoms including HEART FAILURE; CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS; or EMBOLISM.
] |
|
Heart Rate
|
D006339 |
[Modulation of HEART RATE.
, The number of times the HEART VENTRICLES contract per unit of time, usually per minute.
] |
|
Heart Rate Determination
|
D000070276 |
[Methods, techniques, and processes by which HEART RATE is measured.
] |
|
Heart Rate, Fetal
|
D006340 |
[The heart rate of the FETUS. The normal range at term is between 120 and 160 beats per minute.
] |
|
Heart Rupture
|
D006341 |
[Disease-related laceration or tearing of tissues of the heart, including the free-wall MYOCARDIUM; HEART SEPTUM; PAPILLARY MUSCLES; CHORDAE TENDINEAE; and any of the HEART VALVES. Pathological rupture usually results from myocardial infarction (HEART RUPTURE, POST-INFARCTION).
] |
|
Heart Rupture, Post-Infarction
|
D006342 |
[Laceration or tearing of cardiac tissues appearing after MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
] |
|
Heart Septal Defects
|
D006343 |
[Abnormalities in any part of the HEART SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communication between the left and the right chambers of the heart. The abnormal blood flow inside the heart may be caused by defects in the ATRIAL SEPTUM, the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM, or both.
] |
|
Heart Septal Defects, Atrial
|
D006344 |
[Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the ATRIAL SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two upper chambers of the heart. Classification of atrial septal defects is based on location of the communication and types of incomplete fusion of atrial septa with the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS in the fetal heart. They include ostium primum, ostium secundum, sinus venosus, and coronary sinus defects.
] |
|
Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular
|
D006345 |
[Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two lower chambers of the heart. Classification of ventricular septal defects is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect.
] |
|
Heart Septum
|
D006346 |
[This structure includes the thin muscular atrial septum between the two HEART ATRIA, and the thick muscular ventricular septum between the two HEART VENTRICLES.
] |
|
Heart Sounds
|
D006347 |
[The sounds heard over the cardiac region produced by the functioning of the heart. There are four distinct sounds: the first occurs at the beginning of SYSTOLE and is heard as a "lubb" sound; the second is produced by the closing of the AORTIC VALVE and PULMONARY VALVE and is heard as a "dupp" sound; the third is produced by vibrations of the ventricular walls when suddenly distended by the rush of blood from the HEART ATRIA; and the fourth is produced by atrial contraction and ventricular filling.

|
Heart Transplantation
|
D016027 |
[The transference of a heart from one human or animal to another.
