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. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






5. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






7. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






10. 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






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






12. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






14. 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






15. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






16. 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






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. 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






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






20. High blood pressure






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






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






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






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






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






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. Heart enzyme usually elevated in blood stream during heart attack






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






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






31. Marker for inflammation in the body






32. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






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






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






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






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






38. 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






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






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






41. 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

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






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