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. Walking a treadmill or stationary bike while taking an electrocradiogram






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






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






4. 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






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






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






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. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






9. 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






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






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






14. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






15. 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






16. 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






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






18. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






20. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






23. High blood pressure






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






25. High blood pressure






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






27. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






30. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






31. 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






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






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






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






35. 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






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






37. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






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






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






41. 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






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






43. 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






44. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






46. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






47. 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






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






49. 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






50. Marker for inflammation in the body
