FSE-214 Mid-term
-ology, -logy - ANS-The study of
acute heart failure - ANS-inability of the heart to function at the capacity the body needs
resulting in fatigue, weakness, irregular heartbeat
acute renal failure - ANS-Sudden, significant decrease in the filtration capabilities of the kidneys
and rapid increase in the levels of creatinine and other waste products in the systemic
circulation
aneurysm - ANS-local dilation, enlargement of a blood vessel
arteriosclerosis - ANS-general term for hardening of the arteries which can take many forms
including atherosclerosis
arteritis - ANS-inflammation of the arteries that damages blood cell walls reducing blood flow to
organs
atherosclerosis - ANS-Hardening of the arteriesdisease of the arterial vessels marked by
thickening and loss of elasticity in the arterial walls
atherosclerosis - ANS-plaque build-up inside blood vessels; form or arteriosclerosis
clinical - ANS-Founded on actual observation and treatment of patients as distinguished from
data or facts obtained from other sources
Clinical pathology - ANS-Specific features of disease in relation to particular organs or organ
systems; systemic pathology
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) - ANS-Narrowing of coronary arteries, usually as a result of
atherosclerosis- single most common cause of death in industrialized nation
dilatation - ANS-stretching of the muscle fibers of the heart because of disease, normal
occurrence or artificial causes
embolism - ANS-a sudden obstruction of the blood vessel from foreign objects, blood clots, and
other bodily substances
embolism - ANS-abrupt obstruction of a blood vessel
endocarditis - ANS-inflammation, infection of the lining of heart valves
