Heart Attack And Stroke

Subject : health-sciences
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Images of the heartbeat produced through sound waves -Helpful for observing valves & chambers in motion






2. Blood flow is rerouted through a new artery or vein that is grafted around diseased sections of your coronary arteries to increase blood flow to the heart muscle tissue






3. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






4. Chest pain/pressure(Myocardium dying) -Arm/side pain -Nausea/vomiting -Shortness of breath -Pale - sweaty - cold skin -#1 cause of death in men






5. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






6. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






7. Long-term - ongoing cardiovascular study on residents of the town of Framingham - Massachusetts






8. Medical imaging technique -used to visualize inside of human organ or vessel -inject dye into the body and observing with X-rays to see how the dyes move






9. Chest pain or discomfort -caused by reduced blood supply to the heart muscle






10. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






11. Obstruction in a blood vessel due to a blood clot -the clot moves from the place it originally formed to clot other arteries or vessels






12. Myocardium dies and is replaced by scar tissues -May have lifetime limitation






13. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






14. AKA myocardial infarction (MI) -Blood supplied to myocardium reduced or stopped due to dead or damaged heart cells -One or more of coronary arteries are blocked -Usually due to atherosclerosis






15. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






16. High blood pressure






17. Common disorder -hardening of the arteries -occurs when fat - cholesterol - and other substances build up in the walls of arteries and form hard structures called plaques






18. Common disorder -hardening of the arteries -occurs when fat - cholesterol - and other substances build up in the walls of arteries and form hard structures called plaques






19. Abdominal/mid-back pain -Jaw pain -Indigestion -Extreme fatigue -Shortness of breath (often w/o chest pain of any kind) -Pain tends to be more diffuse; not specifically located in chest -#1 cause of death in women






20. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






21. AKA myocardial infarction (MI) -Blood supplied to myocardium reduced or stopped due to dead or damaged heart cells -One or more of coronary arteries are blocked -Usually due to atherosclerosis






22. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






23. Walking a treadmill or stationary bike while taking an electrocradiogram






24. Abdominal/mid-back pain -Jaw pain -Indigestion -Extreme fatigue -Shortness of breath (often w/o chest pain of any kind) -Pain tends to be more diffuse; not specifically located in chest -#1 cause of death in women






25. 'mini-stroke' -Stroke that lasts only a few minutes -Warning sign for bigger future strokes






26. Reduce body's ability to form clots -Coumadin:






27. Long-term - ongoing cardiovascular study on residents of the town of Framingham - Massachusetts






28. Myocardial ischemia(reduced blood flow to heart) -Fibrillation(irregular heart rhythm) -Cardiac arrest(electrical malfunction - heart stops)






29. Reduce body's ability to form clots -Coumadin:






30. Myocardial ischemia(reduced blood flow to heart) -Fibrillation(irregular heart rhythm) -Cardiac arrest(electrical malfunction - heart stops)






31. High blood pressure






32. Artery supplying brain becomes blocked-80% of all strokes






33. Treatment for stroke -protein -involved in the breakdown of blood clots






34. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






35. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






36. Chest pain/pressure(Myocardium dying) -Arm/side pain -Nausea/vomiting -Shortness of breath -Pale - sweaty - cold skin -#1 cause of death in men






37. Condition where heart can no longer pump enough blood to body






38. Artery supplying brain becomes blocked-80% of all strokes






39. Chest pain or discomfort -caused by reduced blood supply to the heart muscle






40. Obstruction in a blood vessel due to a blood clot -the clot moves from the place it originally formed to clot other arteries or vessels






41. Treatment for stroke -protein -involved in the breakdown of blood clots






42. Myocardium dies and is replaced by scar tissues -May have lifetime limitation






43. Condition where heart can no longer pump enough blood to body






44. Marker for inflammation in the body






45. Heart enzyme usually elevated in blood stream during heart attack






46. Artery in brain burst -can be caused by high BP & cholesterol






47. Images of the heartbeat produced through sound waves -Helpful for observing valves & chambers in motion






48. Walking a treadmill or stationary bike while taking an electrocradiogram






49. Medical imaging technique -used to visualize inside of human organ or vessel -inject dye into the body and observing with X-rays to see how the dyes move






50. Artery in brain burst -can be caused by high BP & cholesterol
