This document discusses three different cardiac procedures: cardiac scans, echocardiography, and extracorporeal circulation. A cardiac scan uses radioactive thallium and scanning equipment to visualize the structure and blood flow of the heart. Echocardiography is a noninvasive test that uses ultrasound to visualize the internal structures of the heart, such as the cardiac valves. Extracorporeal circulation routes blood to an external heart-lung machine during open-heart surgery to oxygenate and pump the blood through the body.

2. Cardiac Scan A cardiac scan is when someone is given radioactive thallium and then scanning equipment is used to visualize the heart. The word cardiac derives from the combining form cardi/o and is paired with –ac together meaning pertaining to the heart. The thallium that is injected into the patient gives off an energy detected by the scanning device which allows pictures to be taken of the heart muscle that can show the blood flow throughout the heart and any conditions the heart might have. There are two different types of cardiac scanning. There is single positron emission computed tomography (SPECT) and cardiac positron emission tomography (PET).

3. Echocardiography A echocardiography is a noninvasive diagnostic method using ultrasound to visualize internal cardiac structures. Cardiac valves can be evaluated this way. The procedure is called an echocardiogram. Which is a test where a transducer is placed on your chest towards the heart muscle and transmits high-frequency sound waves. The sound waves gives off echoes that are picked up and transmitted as electrical impulses by the transducer and the echocardiography machine transforms the impulses into moving pictures.

5. Heart bypass, left which is the shift of blood flow from the pulmonary veins directly to the aorta, evading the left atrium and left ventricle.

6. Perfusion, Regional which is a neoplasm drug therapy using an extracorporeal circuit circulating high doses of the medicine to an isolated area.

7. Ultrafiltration which is the separating of particles by passing through a filter with fine pores.
