Status: offline 		"Vallate" is definitely not related to "valence" (which is from Latin valentia, from the verb valere, "to be hale"), nor is it likely to be related to "valance" (which is probably from Old French avaler, "to descend").  Instead, it's from Latin vallare, meaning "to surround with a rampart."

The only related English word I'm aware of is "circumvallate," which means largely the same thing as "vallate" (but can also be used as a verb).

Anyway, it's your turn, Ron.

an irregular heartbeat? no that would be arythmia.......

Something with the top ventricular side of the heart, and recurring beat, I think.

Status: offline 		Almost.  "Tachycardia" is when your hear beats too fast.  And "supraventricular" means "above the ventricle," not "the top ventricle."  My Dad had it.

BUT

"Supraventricular tachycardia" is TWO words, not one.

Edited to add: Next one is "oenomel."

Status: offline 		right, supraventricular is when it originates above the ventricles.
which means the tachycardia is originating in the atria.
ok, i give, technically it's 2 words but at work its often written as one.
