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. Heart enzyme usually elevated in blood stream during heart attack






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. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






6. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






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






9. High blood pressure






10. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






12. 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






13. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






14. 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






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






16. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






17. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






18. 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






19. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






21. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






22. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






25. High blood pressure






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






27. 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






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






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






30. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






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






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






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






35. 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






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






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






38. 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






39. 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






40. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






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






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






45. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






48. 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






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






50. 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
