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. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






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






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






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






7. 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






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






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






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






11. Marker for inflammation in the body






12. 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






13. 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






14. High blood pressure






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






18. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






20. 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






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






22. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






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






25. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






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






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






29. 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






30. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






31. 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






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






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






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






36. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






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






39. 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






40. 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






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






42. High blood pressure






43. 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






44. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






46. 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






47. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






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
