adj
of, or pertaining to paradiastole
adj
Relating to parasystole.
n
(physiology, obsolete) The almost inappreciable time which elapses between the systole and the diastole of the heart.
n
(physiology) The interval between the diastole and systole of the heart.
adj
Relating to the perisystole.
n
(surgery) The selective destruction of tissue by light, normally by means of a laser
n
The part of an irregular heartbeat rhythm following an extrasystole
adj
(medicine) That precedes arrhythmia.
adj
(physiology) Preceding the diastole of the heart.
adj
(biology) Being, or relating to, the pulse wave sometimes seen in a pulse curve or sphygmogram, between the apex of the curve and the dicrotic wave.
n
(anatomy) The end diastolic pressure that stretches the right or left ventricle of the heart to its greatest geometric dimensions under variable physiologic demand.
adj
(medicine) Of, relating to, or exhibiting features of presyncope.
n
cardiac contraction that follows the diastole and precedes the systole
adj
(physiology) Preceding the systole or contraction of the heart; relating to presystole
n
The initial phase of diastole during which the aortic valve closes
adj
Relating to protodiastole
n
The difference in the systolic and diastolic velocities in the circulation of the blood.
n
(physiology) The difference between systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.
n
(biology) The wave of increased pressure started by the ventricular systole, radiating from the semilunar valves over the arterial system, and gradually disappearing in the smaller branches.
n
(medicine) A sign where, on palpation of the pulse, a double peak per cardiac cycle can be appreciated.
n
A form of cardiac arrhythmia in which four beats are followed by a pause.
n
(medicine, colloquial) Sinus tachycardia.
adj
(of blood pressure) Greater than at systole
adj
Pertaining to a systole or heart contraction
adj
(medicine, colloquial) Tachycardic.
