D010210 Papillary Muscles Conical muscular projections from the walls of the cardiac ventricles, attached to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves by the chordae tendineae. Muscle, Papillary,Muscles, Papillary,Papillary Muscle
D002407 Catheterization, Swan-Ganz Placement of a balloon-tipped catheter into the pulmonary artery through the antecubital, subclavian, and sometimes the femoral vein. It is used to measure pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary artery wedge pressure which reflects left atrial pressure and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. The catheter is threaded into the right atrium, the balloon is inflated and the catheter follows the blood flow through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle and out into the pulmonary artery. Catheterization, Pulmonary Artery,Swan-Ganz Catheterization,Pulmonary Artery Catheterization,Artery Catheterization, Pulmonary,Artery Catheterizations, Pulmonary,Catheterization, Swan Ganz,Catheterizations, Pulmonary Artery,Pulmonary Artery Catheterizations,Swan Ganz Catheterization
D004108 Dilatation, Pathologic The condition of an anatomical structure's being dilated beyond normal dimensions. Ectasia,Dilatation, Pathological,Dilatations, Pathologic,Dilatations, Pathological,Pathologic Dilatation,Pathologic Dilatations,Pathological Dilatation,Pathological Dilatations
D005260 Female Females
D006352 Heart Ventricles The lower right and left chambers of the heart. The right ventricle pumps venous BLOOD into the LUNGS and the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic arterial circulation.

D000368 Aged A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available. Elderly
D001026 Coronary Artery Bypass Surgical therapy of ischemic coronary artery disease achieved by grafting a section of saphenous vein, internal mammary artery, or other substitute between the aorta and the obstructed coronary artery distal to the obstructive lesion. Aortocoronary Bypass,Bypass, Coronary Artery,Bypass Surgery, Coronary Artery,Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting,Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery,Aortocoronary Bypasses,Artery Bypass, Coronary,Artery Bypasses, Coronary,Bypass, Aortocoronary,Bypasses, Aortocoronary,Bypasses, Coronary Artery,Coronary Artery Bypasses
