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. 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






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






4. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






5. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






7. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






9. 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






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






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






12. 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






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






14. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






16. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






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






20. 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






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






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






23. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






24. High blood pressure






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






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






27. 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






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






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






30. 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






31. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






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






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






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






36. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






37. 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






38. 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






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






40. 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






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. Heart enzyme usually elevated in blood stream during heart attack






43. Marker for inflammation in the body






44. 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






45. High blood pressure






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






47. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






49. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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