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. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






3. 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






4. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






6. 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






7. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






8. 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






9. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






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






12. Marker for inflammation in the body






13. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






14. High blood pressure






15. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






17. 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






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






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






20. 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






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






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






23. 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






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






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






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






27. 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






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






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






30. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






31. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






32. 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






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






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






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






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






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






38. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






39. 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






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






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






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






43. 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






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






45. 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






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. 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






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






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






50. High blood pressure
