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






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






4. 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






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






6. High blood pressure






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






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






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






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






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






12. 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






13. 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






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






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






16. 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






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






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






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






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






21. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






23. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






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






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






28. 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






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






30. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






31. Marker for inflammation in the body






32. High blood pressure






33. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






34. 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






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






36. Marker for inflammation in the body






37. 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






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






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






40. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






41. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






43. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






44. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






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






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






48. 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






49. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






50. 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
