- 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]
