• Adrenergic beta-antagonist [r]: Drugs that bind to but do not activate beta-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of beta-adrenergic agonists. Adrenergic beta-antagonists are used for treatment of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, glaucoma, migraine headaches, and anxiety. ^[e]
• Aldosterone [r]: Major mineralocorticoid steroid hormone that controls electrolytes, blood pressure and hydration. ^[e]
• Anemia [r]: A condition characterized by insufficient circulating and effective hemoglobin in blood to support normal physiology. ^[e]
• Angiotensin II receptor antagonist [r]: Agents that antagonize angiotensin II type 1 receptor. Included are angiotensin II analogs such as saralasin and biphenylimidazoles such as losartan. Some are used as antihypertensive agents. ^[e]
• Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor [r]: Drugs mainly used to treat hypertension and heart failure, by hemodynamic effect inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system. ^[e]
• Angiotensin [r]: Oligopeptides which are important in the regulation of blood pressure (vasoconstriction) and fluid homeostasis via the renin-angiotensin system. These include angiotensins derived naturally from precursor angiotensinogen, and those synthesized. ^[e]
• Arthur Szyk [r]: (1894–) Polish-born American artist. ^[e]
• Artificial respiration [r]: Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. ^[e]
• Ascites [r]: Accumulation of serous fluids in the space between the tissues and organs of the abdominal cavity. ^[e]
• Atenolol [r]: A cardioselective adrenergic beta-antagonist medication for hypertension and angina pectoris. ^[e]
• Atrial fibrillation [r]: Condition where there is disorganised electrical conduction in the atria, resulting in ineffective pumping of blood into the ventricle. ^[e]
• Bacterial endocarditis [r]: Inflammation of the heart caused by the direct invasion of bacteria and leading to deformity and destruction of the valve leaflets. ^[e]
• Brain natriuretic peptide [r]: A 32 amino acid polypeptide secreted by the ventricles of the heart in response to excessive stretching of heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes). ^[e]
• CHADS2 [r]: A scoring system for patients with atrial fibrillation which attempts to determine their risk of stroke. ^[e]
• Central venous pressure [r]: Venous pressure as measured at the right atrium, done by means of a catheter introduced through the median cubital vein to the superior vena cava. ^[e]
• Chlorthalidone [r]: A thiazide-like diuretic medication used to treat hypertension in humans. ^[e]
• Circulatory system [r]: Organ system that passes nutrients, gases, hormones, blood cells, nitrogen waste products, etc. to and from cells in the body. ^[e]

• Diabetes mellitus type 2 [r]: Medical condition characterised by glucose intolerance and hyperglycemia ^[e]
• Digital object identifier [r]: Unique label for a computer readable object that can be found on the internet, usually used in academic journals. ^[e]
• Dilated cardiomyopathy [r]: A form of myocardial disease that is characterized by ventricular dilation, ventricular dysfunction, and heart failure. ^[e]
• Diuretic [r]: Agents that promote the excretion of urine through their effects on kidney function. ^[e]
