This is the only place in the body where deoxygenated blood is carried by arteries instead of veins14) narrowing and stiffening of one or more valves of the heart18) located between right ventricle and pulmonary artery19) atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries that reduced the blood supply to the heart muscle20) which supply oxygen-rich blood to the myocardium22) peripheral arterial occlusive disease in which intermittent attacks are triggered by cold or stress25) abnormal narrowing of an artery26) also known as platelets, smallest formed elements of the blood27) condition of insufficient supply of oxygen in the tissues due to restricted blood flow to a body part28) is a hollow muscular organ located in the thoracic cavity, between the lungs29) hardening and narrowing of the arteries. Caused by buildup of cholesterol plaque on the interior walls of the arteries30) occurs when the ventricles contract, highest pressure against the walls of an artery32) inner lining of the heart. This is the surface that comes into direct contact with the blood as it is being pumped through the heart33) two upper chambers of the heart. These chambers are divided by interatrial septum34) abnormally small number of platelets circulating in the blood36) chest pain 38) decrease in the number of disease-fighting white blood cells circulating in the blood39) two lower chambers of the heart.

It is known as the natural pacemaker of the heart52) measurement of the amount of systolic and diastolic pressure exerted against the walls of the arteries53) inflammation of the inner lining of the heart 54) located between the left ventricle and aorta55) abnormal narrowing of a blood vessel.
