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






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






4. 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






5. 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






6. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






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






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






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






11. 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






12. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






13. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






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






16. 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






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






18. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






20. 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






21. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






24. 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






25. 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






26. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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. Marker for inflammation in the body






30. 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






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






32. 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






33. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






34. 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






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






36. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






37. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






38. 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






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






40. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






43. High blood pressure






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






45. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






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






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






49. High blood pressure






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