of or relating to a ventricle (of the heart or brain)
Definition that contains ventricular
- defibrillator an electronic device that administers an electric shock of preset voltage to the heart through the chest wall in an attempt to restore the normal rhythm of the heart during ventricular fibrillation
- pvc irregularity of cardiac rhythm; recurrent occurrences can be a precursor of ventricular fibrillation
- asystole absence of systole; failure of the ventricles of the heart to contract (usually caused by ventricular fibrillation) with consequent absence of the heart beat leading to oxygen lack and eventually to death
- choroid plexus a vascular plexus of the cerebral ventricles that regulate intraventricular pressure
- atrioventricular bundle a bundle of modified heart muscle that transmits the cardiac impulse from the atrioventricular node to the ventricles causing them to contract
- atrioventricular nodal rhythm the normal cardiac rhythm when the heart is controlled by the atrioventricular node
- 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
- atrioventricular trunk a bundle of modified heart muscle that transmits the cardiac impulse from the atrioventricular node to the ventricles causing them to contract
- bundle of his a bundle of modified heart muscle that transmits the cardiac impulse from the atrioventricular node to the ventricles causing them to contract
- cardiac arrest absence of systole; failure of the ventricles of the heart to contract (usually caused by ventricular fibrillation) with consequent absence of the heart beat leading to oxygen lack and eventually to death
