Heart-Lung Machine. : Cardiopulmonary bypass and mechanical support : : principles and practice / [edited by] Glenn P. Gravlee, Richard F. Davis, John W. Hammon, Barry Kussman
Apparatus that provides mechanical circulatory support during open-heart surgery, by passing the heart to facilitate surgery on the organ. The basic function of the machine is to oxygenate the body's venous supply of blood and then pump it back into the arterial system. The machine also provides intracardiac suction, filtration, and temperature control. Some of the more important components of these machines include pumps, oxygenators, temperature regulators, and filters. (UMDNS, 1999)

Heart -- Molecular aspects. : Translational cardiology : molecular basis of cardiac metabolism, cardiac remodeling, translational therapies and imaging techniques / Cam Patterson, Monte S. Willis, editors
Heart sounds caused by vibrations resulting from the flow of blood through the heart. Heart murmurs can be examined by HEART AUSCULTATION, and analyzed by their intensity (6 grades), duration, timing (systolic, diastolic, or continuous), location, transmission, and quality (musical, vibratory, blowing, etc)
The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow --consider also terms at CARDIAC HEART
