 appears a dull- white, the normal tissue translucent.

 Carden's Operations. See Operations, Table of. 

 Cardia (kar'-de-ah) [itapdia, the heart]. The heart. 



C. of the Stomach, the esophageal orifice of the 



stomach. 

 Cardiac (kar'-de-ak) [napAta, the heart]. Pertaining to 



the heart. C. Aspect, that nearest the heart. C. 



Cycle, the total cardiac 



movement or revolution. 



C. Dropsy. See Dropsy. 



C. Dulness, the region 



covering the position of 



the heart, as shown by 



percussion. C. Dysp- 

 nea. See Dyspnea. C. 



Epilepsy, a rare affec- 

 tion, with intense pain in 



the region of the heart, 



occurring in paroxysms. 



This paroxysm usually 



follows a momentary loss 



of consciousness, and at 



times is associated with 



twitching of the facial 



muscles and other spas- 

 modic movements. C. 



Ganglia, lie in the grooves and substance — the 



Cardiac Cycle. 

 The inner circle shows the 

 events that occur in the 

 heart ; the outer circle shows 

 the relations of the sounds 

 and silences to the events. 



Facies. See Fades. C. 



principal are Remak's and Bidder's, the first on 

 the surface of the sinus venosus, and the latter (two) 

 at the auriculo-ventricular groove. See Ganglia, 

 Table of. C. Impulse, the elevation caused by the 

 movement of the heart, usually seen in the fifth left 

 intercostal space. C. Murmurs. See Murmurs. C. 

 Orifice, of the stomach, the esophageal orifice. C. 

 Passion, pain in the heart, or the stomach. C. 

 Plexus. See Plexus. C. Rhythm, the term given 

 to the normal regularity in the force and volume of 

 the individual heart-beats. In cases of cardiac in- 

 sufficiency this regularity is disturbed to a greater or 

 less degree, as is also the interval between the beats, 

 and this condition has been termed arrhythmia. The 

 name allorrhythmia has been applied to various per- 

 versions of rhythm. These abnormal conditions are 

 due very probably to some derangement of the intrinsic 

 nerve-apparatus of the heart, and are considered as un- 

 favorable indications.
