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






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






3. 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






4. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






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






7. 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






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






9. 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






10. 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






11. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






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






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






15. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






16. High blood pressure






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






18. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






19. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






21. 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






22. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






23. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






26. 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






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






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






29. Marker for inflammation in the body






30. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






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






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






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






35. 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






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






37. 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






38. 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






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






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






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






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






43. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






45. 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






46. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






47. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






49. 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






50. High blood pressure
