DAANCE all modules (2022/2023) Already Passed Anemia Reduction of the quantity of red blood cells or hemoglobin. Angina pectoris Chest pain with the feeling of suffocation usually due to deficiency of blood supply to the myocardium resulting in ischemia to the myocardium, caused by poor coronary circulation. Anticholinergic A drug that counteracts the action of ecetylcholine, the neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system and thereby counteracts the parasympathetic nervous system. Antiemetic A drug that counteracts nausea and vomiting. Antisialogogue A drug that counteracts the production of saliva. Anxiolytics Drugs that reduce or dissolve anxiety, agitation or tension. Aorta Very large artery receiving oxygen rich blood from the left ventricle and distributed to the peripheral circulation. Arrest rhythms Premature ventricular contractions (PVC's), ventricular tachycardia (Vtach.), ventricular fibrillation (Vfib.), asystole, pulseless electrical activity (PEA). Artery A vessel that carries blood away from the heart. Ascites Accumulation of serous fluid in the abdominal cavity can be associated with advanced cases of liver disease or right sided heart failure. Asystole Cessation of all contractions of the myocardium. Frequently follows arrest rhythms such as VTack. or VFib. Also known as "flat line". Ataractics Pharmacologic agents that produce a tranquilizing effect. Atherosclerosis A disease of the arteries characterized by the deposition of plaque on their inner walls which narrows the lumen and decreases the oxygen-bearing blood supply to the myocardium Atrial fibrillation (AFib.) An atrial rhythm originating from multiple ectopic foci in the atria characterized by rapid randomized contractions of the atrial myocardium causing a totally irregular baseline and irregular ventricular rate with no P w
