ch 9.8 cardiac and lymphatic abnormalities and oncology

disease characterized by decrease in granulocytes

blood-filled, saclike formations caused by localized dilation of blood vessel wall (usually artery) or heart

refers to any condition with attacks of suffocating, paroxysmal pain

severe, paroxysmal chest pain in humans, usually radiating from the cardiac area of the chest to the left shoulder and down the left arm

enlargement of blood vessel

necrosis (death) of blood vessel walls

sclerosis (hardening) of blood vessel walls

narrowing of vessels

blood from aorta flows back to the left ventricle because of malfunctioning of semilunar valve of aorta

irregular rhythm of the heartbeat

classification of diseases of arteries, marked by thickening of walls of arteries and loss of their elasticity

spasm of artery

narrowing of diameter of artery

type of arteriosclerosis marked by formation of plaques containing cholesterol and lipids within intima of large and medium-sized arteries

slow heartbeat

abrupt stopping of cardiac function and absence of arterial blood pressure

enlargement of heart

abnormal heart sound

enlargement of heart

heart muscle disase found in cats

presence of carotene in blood, sometimes producing a jaundicelike coloring

prolonged inability of heart to pump and maintain blood flow adequately, resulting in impaired circulation, edema throughout body, and blood backed up in veins leading to heart

cardiac condition caused by pulmonary hypertension resulting from disease of lungs or their blood vessels

bluish color of skin and mucous membranes caused by reduced amounts of oxygen in blood

blocking of blood vessel by obstruction, such as blood clot, air bubble, fat globule, tissue, bacteria clump, or amniotic debris, carried by blood flow

increase of red blood cells in circulation

deficiency of erythrocytes (also called erythrocytopenia)

arrhythmia with uncoordinated, irregular contractions of heart muscle affecting atria or ventricles

decrease of granulocytes in blood (also called granulopenia)

unusually large number of granulocytes in blood.

partial or complete interference with the conduction of cardiac electrical impulses

dilation of blood vessels (also called angiectasis)

deficiency in elements of blood cells

increase in elements of blood

decrease in blood

free hemoglobin in blood plasma

high blood pressure

low blood pressure

area of tissue that is damaged or necrotic because of an insufficient blood supply resulting from obstruction to circulation

local, temporary deficiency of blood supply to area of body caused by obstruction in blood vessel supplying area

reduction in amount of white blood cells

lymph node inflammation

disease of lymph nodes

swelling of vessels of lymphatics

swelling caused by blockage of lymphatics

decrease of lymphocytes in blood

excess of lymphocytes in blood

discharge of lymph from cut or torn lymph vessel

obstruction to lymph flow

most common cause of congestive heart failure in dogs

protrusion of mitral valve into left atrium, causing backflow of blood caused by incomplete closure

decrease of monocytes in blood

increase of monocytes in blood

decrease of neutrophils in blood (also called neutrocytopenia)

obstruction of blood vessel, which may be caused by thrombus or embolus

rapid action or tachycardia of heart

sudden onset of rapid heartbeat, beginning and ending abruptly

aneurysm of vein

swelling of vein or veins or varicosity (also called phlebectasis)

narrowing of the walls of vein

increase of erythrocytes in blood

edema of lungs symptomatic of congestive heart failure

decrease in amount of reticulocutes in blood (also called reticulopenia)

enlargement of spleen

decrease in platelets in blood

formation, presence, or developement of blood clot or thrombus

blood clot obstructing blood vessel

any disease of thymus

enlarged thymus

narrowing of blood vessels

expansion of blood vessels

blood vessel spasm causing narrowing in its diameter

tumor made up of newly formed lymph channels and spaces

malignant tumor of lymph vessels
