  1. Pulmonary – Relating to the lungs, often used in reference to blood flow between heart and lungs.
  2. Cardiology – The study of the heart and its diseases.​
  3. Arrhythmia – An irregular heart rhythm; can be too fast, too slow, or erratic.
  4. Hypertension – High blood pressure, a leading risk factor for heart disease.
  5. Atrium – The upper chamber of the heart that receives blood.
  6. Cyanotic Heart Disease – Congenital (from birth) heart defects that result in low oxygen levels.
