Definition of atrioventricular in English:
atrioventricular
adjective ˌeɪtrɪə(ʊ)vɛnˈtrɪkjʊləˌeɪtrioʊvɛnˈtrɪkjələr
Anatomy Physiology Relating to the atrial and ventricular chambers of the heart, or the connection or coordination between them.
Example sentencesExamples
- A 29-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with complete atrioventricular conduction block and severe congestive heart failure.
- Thus, after delay in the atrioventricular mode, atrial contraction is followed by rapid and coordinated contraction of the ventricles.
- The decrease in myocardial oxygen consumption was evidenced by a gradual decline in atrioventricular oxygen difference, indicating a decrease in myocardial oxygen uptake relative to supply.
- This acts as the heart's natural pacemaker by conveying electrical impulses to the atrioventricular node, which is located in between the upper and lower chambers.
- Right coronary artery procedures are often associated with sinus arrest, atrioventricular block, idioventricular rhythm, and severe hypotension.
- Atrial tachycardia with atrioventricular block is typically seen with digoxin toxicity.
- Prenatal scanning is now so sophisticated that in Britain over half of all cases of hypoplastic left heart and atrioventricular connections involving a single ventricle are now diagnosed before birth.
