## Step 1<br />The problem involves matching procedure to its correct definition. <br /><br />## Step 2<br />We start by matching each procedure to its definition:<br /><br />1. Cardiac biomarkers: These are substances that are released into the blood when the heart is damaged. They are measured in a blood test to indicate heart muscle damage.<br /><br />2. Doppler ultrasound: This is a type of ultrasound that uses sound waves to measure the velocity of blood moving through blood vessels.<br /><br />3. Holter monitor: This is a portable device that continuously records the heart's rhythm, typically over 24 hours.<br /><br />4. Cardiac scan: This is a general term for any imaging test that visualizes the heart, often using radioactive tracers.<br /><br />5. Stress testing: This is a test that evaluates the heart's performance stress, often using a treadmill.<br /><br />6. Echocardiography: This is an ultrasound test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart.<br /><br />7. Extracorporeal circulation: This is a procedure that uses a machine to take over the function of the heart and lungs during surgery.<br /><br />8. Ligation and stripping: This is a surgical procedure used to remove varicose veins.<br /><br />9. Thrombolytic therapy: This is a treatment that uses drugs to dissolve blood clots.<br /><br />10. PTCA: This is an abbreviation for Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty, which is a type of balloon angioplasty.
