coronary

  (kôr'ə-nĕr'ē, kŏr'-) pronunciation
adj.
  1. Of, relating to, or being the coronary arteries or coronary veins.
  2. Of or relating to the heart.
n., pl. -ies.

A coronary thrombosis or heart attack.

[Latin corōnārius, of a crown, from corōna, crown. See crown.]


 
 

Pertaining to the heart.

 
(kor-uh-ner-ee, kawr-uh-ner-ee)

A descriptive term for the heart or the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle.

  • The word coronary is often used by itself in an informal sense to refer to a heart attack or coronary thrombosis.

  •  

    Encircling in the manner of a crown.
    1. a term applied to vessels, ligaments, nerves, the band at the skin–hoof junction.
    2. blood vessels partially encircling the heart.

    • c. arteries — two large arteries that branch from the ascending aorta and supply all of the heart muscle with blood.
    • c. artery anomaly — one or both arteries originate from the pulmonary artery instead of the aorta; anoxia of the myocardium leads to congestive heart failure.
    • c. artery laceration — in foals during a difficult parturition and in cattle due to penetration by a reticular foreign body; sudden death due to cardiac tamponade.
    • c. artery rupture — can result from perforation by a foreign body from the reticulum as part of the syndrome of traumatic reticular pericarditis. Cardiac tamponade results, causing acute or congestive heart failure.
    • c. band — the junction of the skin and the horn of the hoof.
    • c. chemoreflex — intravenous injection of chemicals such as veratridine causes cardiac slowing, hypotension and apnea due to reflex response by the myocardium. Called also Bezold–Jarisch reflex.
    • c. cushion — the spongy, resilient hypodermis beneath the coronary corium of the hoof.
    • c. emboli — lodgment of an embolus in a coronary artery is a rare occurrence in animals. Myocardial ischemia and asthenia result, the effect on the animal varying with the amount of muscle compromised.
    • c. occlusion — the occlusion, or closing off, of a coronary artery. The occlusion may result from formation of a clot (thrombosis). Narrowing of the lumen of the blood vessels by the plaques of atherosclerosis, as occurs in humans, does not occur in animals. If there is adequate collateral circulation to the heart muscle at the time of the occlusion, there may be little or no damage to the myocardial cells. When occlusion is complete, however, with no blood being supplied to an area of the myocardium, myocardial infarction results.
    • c. perfusion pressure — the difference between aortic diastolic and right atrial diastolic pressure; a determinant of the blood flow to cardiac muscle.
    • c. thrombosis — formation of a clot in a coronary artery. See also myocardial infarction.
