Cardiac supplies
atrioventricular (A-V) node
Medical devices; Cardiac supplies
A cluster of cells located in the wall between the right and left atria, just above the ventricles. This part of the heart's electrical pathway helps carry signals from the atria to the ventricles.
atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT)
Medical devices; Cardiac supplies
A type of supraventricular tachycardias (SVT). Accounts for about 60% of all fast heart rates that start in the upper part of the heart. AVNRT occurs when the A-V node has an extra electrical pathway ...
atrioventricular (A-V) synchrony
Medical devices; Cardiac supplies
The normal time sequence for an atrial contraction followed, after a fraction of a second, by a ventricular contraction.
atrioventricular (A-V) valves
Medical devices; Cardiac supplies
The two valves, one in each side of the heart, between the atria and ventricles. The tricuspid valve is located on the right side of the heart, and the mitral value is located on the left side.
atrium
Medical devices; Cardiac supplies
One of the upper two chambers of the heart (plural: atria). The right atrium collects deoxygenated blood and the left atrium collects oxygenated blood before it is passed to the ventricles.
automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD)
Medical devices; Cardiac supplies
A surgically implanted device that monitors the heartbeat and delivers electrical impulses to correct an abnormally fast rhythm and restore a regular heartbeat. The AICD system usually consists of an ...
bacterial endocarditis
Medical devices; Cardiac supplies
A bacterial infection of the heart lining or valves. People with abnormal heart valves or congenital heart defects are at increased risk of developing this disease.
