most frequent choice, especially for a single graft, for coronary artery
bypass surgery.
Year introduced: 1988(1975)
13.Coronary Care Units
The hospital unit in which patients with acute cardiac disorders receive
intensive care.
Year introduced: 1972(1970)
14.Coronary-Subclavian Steal Syndrome
A complication of INTERNAL MAMMARY-CORONARY ARTERY ANASTOMOSIS whereby an
occlusion or stenosis of the proximal SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY causes a reversal
of the blood flow away from the CORONARY CIRCULATION, through the grafted
INTERNAL MAMMARY ARTERY (internal thoracic artery), and back to the distal
subclavian distribution.
Year introduced: 2011

blood clot (THROMBUS) often leads to MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
Year introduced: 1991(1987)
20.Coronary Aneurysm
Abnormal balloon- or sac-like dilatation in the wall of CORONARY VESSELS.
Most coronary aneurysms are due to CORONARY ATHEROSCLEROSIS, and the rest
are due to inflammatory diseases, such as KAWASAKI DISEASE.
Year introduced: 1987
Results: 21 to 26 of 26
21.Coronary Sinus
A short vein that collects about two thirds of the venous blood from the
MYOCARDIUM and drains into the RIGHT ATRIUM. Coronary sinus, normally
located between the LEFT ATRIUM and LEFT VENTRICLE on the posterior
surface of the heart, can serve as an anatomical reference for cardiac
procedures.
Year introduced: 2008
22.Coronary Circulation
The circulation of blood through the CORONARY VESSELS of the HEART.
Year introduced: 1972
23.Type A Personality
Established behavior pattern characterized by excessive drive and
ambition, impatience, competitiveness, sense of time urgency, and poorly
contained aggression.
Year introduced: 1985
24.Myocardial Reperfusion
Generally, restoration of blood supply to heart tissue which is ischemic
due to decrease in normal blood supply. The decrease may result from any
source including atherosclerotic obstruction, narrowing of the artery, or
surgical clamping. Reperfusion can be induced to treat ischemia. Methods
include chemical dissolution of an occluding thrombus, administration of
vasodilator drugs, angioplasty, catheterization, and artery bypass graft
surgery. However, it is thought that reperfusion can itself further damage
the ischemic tissue, causing MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY.
Year introduced: 1989
25.Styrax pill (coronary disease) [Supplementary Concept]
from Styrax liquidus and Borneolum; for therapy of angina pectoris
Date introduced: December 2, 1980
26.Microvascular Angina
ANGINA PECTORIS or angina-like chest pain with a normal coronary
arteriogram and positive EXERCISE TEST. The cause of the syndrome is
unknown. While its recognition is of clinical importance, its prognosis is
excellent. (Braunwald, Heart Disease, 4th ed, p1346; Jablonski Dictionary
of Syndromes & Eponymic Diseases, 2d ed). It is different from METABOLIC
SYNDROME X, a syndrome characterized by INSULIN RESISTANCE and
HYPERINSULINEMIA, that has increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) is the NLM controlled vocabulary thesaurus
used for indexing PubMed citations.
Use the MeSH database to find MeSH terms, including Subheadings,
Publication Types, Supplementary Concepts and Pharmacological Actions, and
then build a PubMed search. The MeSH database can be searched by MeSH
term, MeSH Entry Term, Subheading, Publication Type, Supplementary
Concept, or MeSH Scope Note.
More information about the MeSH database:
An autocomplete feature is available from the search box.
Search results are displayed in relevance-ranked order, therefore, when a
users search exactly matches a MeSH Term, that Term is displayed first.
Click the MeSH term from the Summary display or choose Full from the
Display Settings menu to view additional information and search
specifications, such as Subheadings, restrict to Major MeSH Topic, or
exclude terms below the term in the MeSH hierarchy.
Year Introduced is the year the term was added to MeSH. If more than one
year is shown, the term was available for indexing back to the earliest
year noted. Articles are indexed using the vocabulary in place at the time
of indexing, therefore, the year introduced for a term and the date of
publication of a citation indexed with that term may not agree.
Launching PubMed searches from MeSH
To build a PubMed search from MeSH, run a search, select terms using the
check boxes, and then click "Add to search builder" in the PubMed search
builder portlet. You may continue searching and including additional terms
to the PubMed search builder using the Add to search builder and Boolean
pull-down menu. When you are finished, click Search PubMed.
PubMed Tutorials
Understanding the Vocabulary
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/pubmedtutorial/015_010.html
MEDLINE uses a controlled vocabulary, meaning that there is a specific set
of terms used to describe each article. Familiarity with this vocabulary
will make you a better PubMed searcher.
The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)
MeSH is the acronym for "Medical Subject Headings." MeSH is the authority
list of the vocabulary terms used for subject analysis of biomedical
literature at NLM. MeSH vocabulary is used for indexing journal articles
for MEDLINE and is also used for cataloging books and audiovisuals.
The MeSH controlled vocabulary is a distinctive feature of MEDLINE. It
imposes uniformity and consistency to the indexing of biomedical
literature. MeSH terms are arranged in a hierarchical categorized manner
called MeSH Tree Structures and are updated annually.
Examples of MESH Headings
Body Weight
Dental Cavity Preparation
Radioactive Waste
Kidney
Self Medication
Brain Edema
Branching Out: the MeSH Vocabulary

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/video/
The MeSH Tree Structure
MeSH vocabulary is organized by 16 main branches:
A.Anatomy
B.Organisms
C.Diseases
D.Chemical and Drugs
E.Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment
F.Psychiatry and Psychology
G.Biological Sciences
H.Natural Sciences
I.Anthropology, Education, Sociology and Social Phenomena
J.Technology, Industry, Agriculture
K.Humanities
L.Information Science
M.Named Groups
N.Health Care
Publication Characteristics
Geographic Locations
This example displays part of the hierarchy that includes the term, Face.
Notice the narrower terms indented under the broader terms.
When PubMed searches a MeSH term, it will automatically include narrower
terms in the search, if applicable. This is also called "automatic
explosion."
Some terms occur in more than one place in the hierarchy. For example,
"Eye" appears under the Anatomy branch, but also under the Sense Organs
branch. Automatic explosion will include narrower terms from all instances
of the term in the hierarchy.
Indexing with MeSH Vocabulary
NLM indexers examine articles and assign the most specific MeSH heading(s)
that appropriately describes the concept(s) discussed.
The indexer will assign as many MeSH headings as appropriate to cover the
topics of the article (generally 5 to 15). When there is no specific
heading for a concept, the indexer will use the closest, general heading
available. Indexers can also assign Subheadings to further describe a
particular aspect of a MeSH concept.
Examples of Subheadings are: diagnosis, surgery, metabolism, pathology.
In addition to assigning MeSH terms that describe the topic of the
article, the indexer provides terms that reflect:
characteristics of the group being studied (e.g., the age group, human or
other animal, male or female) the material represented (Publication Types)
e.g., Clinical Trials, Editorial, Review The MeSH terms that reflect the
major points of the article are marked with an asterisk (*).
Example:
Article Title:
Hormone therapy in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women: examining the
evidence on cardiovascular disease risks.
Abstract:
Women may live for 30 years or longer after menopause with cardiovascular
disease as their highest mortality risk. Menopause may correspond to
health alterations for women, yet the use of estrogen during and after
this transition has been controversial for the past four decades. The
evidence from recent scientific studies does not support the use of
hormone therapy for the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular disease,
which has resulted in its removal from national guideline recommendations.
However, because of concerns related to specific aspects of the research,
there are gaps in the evidence. Studies are under way to evaluate
alternate methods for hormone delivery, low-dose hormone therapy, and
selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) in reducing cardiovascular
risks in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Implications for
clinical nursing practice include education as well as assessment and
counseling related to individual risk factors.

Review
Mesh Terms:

Cardiovascular Diseases/chemically induced*
Estrogen Replacement Therapy/adverse effects*
Evidence-Based Medicine

Risk Factors
Pharmacologic Action Terms
Every drug and chemical MeSH heading has been assigned one or more
headings that describe known pharmacological actions (PA).
Since 1996, NLM indexers add the appropriate pharmacological action MeSH
heading as well as the specific chemical MeSH heading to a citation when
the action of the chemical is discussed in the article.
Example:
The pharmacological actions established for the MeSH Heading, Aspirin:
Pharmacological Action
Pharmacological Action
Pharmacological Action
Pharmacological Action
Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal
Cyclooxygenase Inhibitors
Fibrinolytic Agents
Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors
A citation to an article that discusses aspirin used as an
anti-inflammatory agent will be assigned:
Aspirin
Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal
A citation to an article that discusses aspirin used to inhibit blood
clotting will be assigned:
Aspirin
Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors
In a later section of this tutorial, you will learn how to use PubMed's
MeSH Database to find MeSH terms for searching.
