  1. Angina – Chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart.​
  2. Aneurysm – A bulge in a blood vessel or heart wall due to weakness.
  3. Angiogram – An imaging test that uses dye and X-rays to view the heart's arteries.
  4. Cyanosis – Bluish skin due to lack of oxygen in the blood, sometimes caused by heart defects.
  5. Cardiac Catheterization – Procedure in which a thin tube is inserted into a blood vessel and guided to the heart to diagnose or treat problems.
  6. Aorta – The largest artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
  7. Cardiomyopathy – A Disease of the heart muscle, weakening its ability to pump blood.
  8. Thallium Stress Test – A nuclear imaging test that shows how well blood flows into the heart during activity.
