Definition that contains heart muscle
- mi destruction of heart tissue resulting from obstruction of the blood supply to the heart muscle
- cardiomyopathy a disorder (usually of unknown origin) of the heart muscle (myocardium)
- defibrillation treatment by stopping fibrillation of heart muscles (usually by electric shock delivered by a defibrillator)
- coronary insufficiency inadequate blood flow to the heart muscles; can cause angina pectoris
- myocardial infarction destruction of heart tissue resulting from obstruction of the blood supply to the heart muscle
- atrioventricular node a node of specialized heart muscle located in the septal wall of the right atrium; receives impulses from the sinoatrial node and transmits them to atrioventricular bundle
- ventricular fibrillation fibrillation of heart muscles resulting in interference with rhythmic contractions of the ventricles and possibly leading to cardiac arrest
- cardiac insufficiency inadequate blood flow to the heart muscles; can cause angina pectoris
- hypertrophic cardiomyopathy a disorder in which the heart muscle is so strong that it does not relax enough to fill with the heart with blood and so has reduced pumping ability
- myocardiopathy a disorder (usually of unknown origin) of the heart muscle (myocardium)
