A narrowing of any canal, especially one fo the cardiac vessels
narrowing or tightening of an opening or passage in the body
Narrowing of a portion of the spinal canal, usually because of bony overgrowth
Narrowing or stiffening of an opening (usually a blood vessel or heart valve)
Narrowing of a valve or an artery is called stenosis A stenotic valve does not open completely and therefore it obstructs or blocks blood from moving through it normally An artery can become stenotic as well, such that there is obstruction of blood flow through it to the organs of the body
{i} stricture, narrowing of a vessel or passage (Pathology)
is a condition in which a blood vessel or other passage in the body becomes abnormally narrowed, restricting blood flow
An obstruction or narrowing of an opening or valve
An obstruction or narrowing of an opening (as in coronary artery stenosis) or valve
a narrowing or constriction of the diameter of a bodily passage or orifice <esophageal ~>
Blockage or obstruction a termed used to descibe an area or zone of narrowing in any channel, including the small coronary vessels
abnormal narrowing of a bodily canal or passageway
a general term that means "narrowing", in this course it is used to describe arterial narrowing
narrowing or constriction of a blood vessel or valve in the heart
The narrowing or constriction of an opening, such as a blood vessel or heart valve
This term means narrowing This may occur particularly in the cervical or lumbar spine producing cervical stenosis or lumbar stenosis If the narrowing is significant, then there is pressure on the spinal cord itself
the narrowing or constriction of a blood vessel or valve in the heart
Narrowing of a body passage or opening
pyloric stenosis
A narrowing of the pylorus, which prevents the normal passage of food from the stomach to the small intestine
aortic stenosis
Narrowing of the aortic valve opening, causing obstruction of blood flow into the circulation The condition causes the heart to work harder and the muscle in the wall of the left ventricle (lower chamber) to thicken
aortic stenosis
abnormal narrowing of the aortic valve
aortic stenosis
narrowing of the opening of the aortic valve (the valve that regulates blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta)
aortic stenosis
A narrowing or stiffening of the aortic valve due to aging, disease (such as rheumatic fever), or birth defects
aortic stenosis
A congenital Heart Defect where a narrowing of the aortic valve is observed
aortic stenosis
a narrowing which restricts red blood from moving from the left ventricle into the aorta
atresia and stenosis
Absence (atresia), usually congenital, or narrowing (stenosis) of almost any normal body cavity or passage. The more important include atresia of the anus, esophagus, aortic arch, heart valves, and urinary passages; and stenosis of the intestine, urinary passages, pyloric valve (stomach outlet), and heart valves. Most must be surgically corrected soon after birth
mitral stenosis
obstruction or narrowing of the mitral valve (as by scarring from rheumatic fever)
mitral stenosis
A narrowing of the mitral valve, usually caused by rheumatic fever, resulting in an obstruction to the flow of blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle
pulmonary stenosis
abnormal narrowing of the opening into the pulmonary artery from the right ventricle
pyloric stenosis
narrowing of the passage between the stomach and the small intestine (Medicine)
pyloric stenosis
narrowing of the pyloric sphincter that blocks the passage of food from the stomach into the duodenum
stenoses
plural of stenosis
stenotic
abnormally constricted body canal or passage; "a stenosed coronary artery"
