Glossary of heart care terms
Cardiac care has a language all its own. To help you and your caregivers understand medical terminology and learn more about the therapies and technologies your care may involve, we’ve developed a glossary of cardiology terms. We encourage you to refer to it whenever you come across an unfamiliar term and want more information.
We know that heart disease can seem overwhelming, and many patients find that learning as much as they can about their care helps them feel more in control of their health.
Of course, the glossary is just the beginning. Any time you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your physician.
