A disease involving the heart or blood vessels, i.e. arteries and veins, such as coronary heart disease.

(medicine) inflammation of the muscles of the heart.

an autosomal dominant inherited heart disorder caused by a mutation in voltage gated ion channels and resulting in arrhythmias. CPVT may cause exercise-induced ventricular arrhythmias and/or syncope occurring during physical activity or acute emotion, but demonstrates no structural problems of the heart. Ventricular tachycardia may self-terminate or degenerate into ventricular fibrillation, causing sudden death without immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The majority of events occur during childhood and more than 60% of affected individuals will have a first episode of syncope or cardiac arrest by age 20.

A change in structure and function of the right ventricle of the heart as a result of a respiratory disorder.

Relating to, or afflicted with, coronaropathy.

(medicine, cardiology) Any disease caused by the accumulation of fatty deposits in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the myocardium.

(medicine, cardiology) Any disease caused by the accumulation of fatty deposits in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the myocardium.

A form of pericarditis that occurs in relation to damage to the myocardium or pericardium.

(pathology) A congenital displacement of the heart

(pathology) Degeneration of the inside of the heart, typically of the mitral valves.

(pathology) inflammation of the endocardium and pericardium

The observation that the French suffer a relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease, despite having a diet relatively rich in saturated fats.

(cardiology) An acute myocardial infarction, sometimes fatal, caused by the sudden occurrence of coronary thrombosis, which obstructs the blood supply to the heart and leads to necrosis of heart muscle tissue.

(pathology) A disease in the electrical system of the heart, opposed to coronary artery disease, which is disease of the blood vessels of the heart.

a disease which affects the functions of the heart.

(cardiology, pathology) The chronic inability of the heart to pump a sufficient amount of blood throughout the body, leading to a pooling of blood and shortness of breath.

Alternative form of heart failure [(cardiology, pathology) The chronic inability of the heart to pump a sufficient amount of blood throughout the body, leading to a pooling of blood and shortness of breath.]

(medicine, cardiology) A usually temporary irregular heartbeat in individuals who are otherwise healthy.

(pathology) An infarct (an area of ischemic necrosis).

(medicine) A combination of myocarditis and pericarditis.

(surgery) Repair of damaged muscle

(medicine, historical) A technique of stretching and cutting a nerve, formerly used to treat neuralgia.

(medicine) A disorder in which the heart muscle fails to undergo the usual compaction and remains spongy rather than solid, leading to cardiomyopathy.

inflammation of all three layers of the heart

(cardiology, pathology) Inflammation of the pericardium, the membrane that surrounds the heart.

(cardiology) Any condition which imitates the characteristics of an acute myocardial infarction, especially in its pattern on an electrocardiogram.
