Sinus tachycardia
|
|
Sinus tachycardia A normal, but fast rythm being generated by the SA node. This is very different than the term Ventricular Tachycardia.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Node
A swelling, knot or knob.
Tachycardia
Rapid heart beat.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Sinus
Paranasal sinuses. Air cavities within the facial bones, lined by mucous membranes similar to those in other parts of the airways.
Sinus node
The cells that produce the electrical impulses that cause the heart to contract.
Sinus rythm
A normal heart rythm being generated by the SA node.
Sinusitis
Inflammation of the sinuse (hollow spaces in the bone of the cheeks and forehead), due to an infection or an allergic reaction. Probably the most common cause of pain in and around the eye. Symptoms include head pain (headache, pain around the eyes, toothache, jaw pain), nasal discharge, postnasal drip, coughing, eyelid swelling, swelling around the eyes, a stuffy nose, fatigue, bad breath and a sore throat.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Supramasculinize
To masculinize in excess.
Sympathetic nervous system
Pertaining to that part of the autonomic nervous system which usually prepares the organism to deal more effectively with a situation of strife or emergency, as in fight or flight, the functions of which contrast with or reciprocate those of the parasympathetic system Paradoxically, the sympathetic system is also responsible for the physiological phenomenon of orgasm and/or ejaculation, but not sexual arousal.
SA Node
See Sino-Atrial Node.
Sino-Atrial Node
A part of the heart muscle, located next to the inlet from the Vena Cava, which is the "pacemaker" of the heart.
Sinus rythm
A normal heart rythm being generated by the SA node.
Sinus tachycardia
Superior
The anatomical term for "above". i.e. the head is superior to the shoulder. Typically used in humans only. See Cranial/Caudal/Inferior.
Aarskog-Scott syndrome
A syndrome of wide spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism), front-facing (anteverted) nostrils, a broad upper lip, a malformed ("saddle-bag") scrotum, and laxity of the ligaments resulting in bending back of the knees (genu recurvatum), flat feet, and overly extensible fingers. There are X-linked and autosomal forms of the disease. The gene for the X-linked form has been mapped to chromosome band Xp11.21 and identified as the FGD1 gene. The disease is named for DJ Aarskog (1928-) and CI Scott, Jr. (1934-), Norwegian and American pediatricians, who described it in 1970 and 1971. It is also known as Aarskog syndrome, faciodigitogenital dysplasia, and faciogenital dysplasia.
Spontaneous abortion
A miscarriage, that is, any pregnancy that is not viable (the fetus cannot survive) or in which the fetus is born before the 20th week of pregnancy. Spontaneous abortion occurs in at least 15-20% of all recognized pregnancies and usually takes place before the 13th week of pregnancy. A spontaneous abortion is as opposed to an induced abortion. In a spontaneous abortion, it is purely accidental, that is spontaneous.
Sac
"Pouch; a bag-like structure."
Sacroiliac
Having to do with the joint formed by the sacrum and the ilium in the lower back.
