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. High blood pressure






2. 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






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






4. 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






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






6. 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






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






8. 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






9. 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






10. 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






11. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






13. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






14. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






16. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






18. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






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






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






25. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






26. 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






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






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






29. 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






30. High blood pressure






31. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






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






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






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. 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






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






38. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






39. Marker for inflammation in the body






40. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






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






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






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






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






46. 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






47. 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






48. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






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