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






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






3. 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






4. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






7. 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






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






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






11. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






13. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






16. 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






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






18. High blood pressure






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






20. High blood pressure






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






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






23. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






24. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






34. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






35. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






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






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






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






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






41. 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






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






43. 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






44. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






45. 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






46. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






47. Marker for inflammation in the body






48. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






49. 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






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
