Biomarkers used to detect heart muscle damage, crucial for diagnosing myocardial infarction.

The deflation of the balloon decreases resistance in the aorta, helping the heart pump more efficiently.

The percentage of blood pumped out of the left ventricle with each heartbeat, indicating heart function.

A diagnostic measure to assess the severity of coronary artery blockages.

An implanted device that regulates abnormal heart rhythms by sending electrical impulses.

A condition where heart muscle thickens, affecting blood flow and increasing sudden cardiac death risk.

The balloon inflation increases blood supply to coronary arteries, improving myocardial oxygenation.

A type of heart failure where the left ventricle doesn’t pump efficiently.

Fluid accumulation in the lungs due to heart failure, causing severe breathing difficulty.

A diagnostic test using contrast dye to visualize blockages in coronary arteries.

A mechanical device used to assist the heart in pumping blood in cases of severe heart failure.

Infection of the inner lining of the heart, often affecting valves.

Continuous assessment of blood pressure, cardiac output, and tissue perfusion in critically ill patients.

The IABP inflates during diastole and deflates before systole to reduce cardiac workload and improve coronary perfusion.

Fluid buildup around the heart that compresses its function.
