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. 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






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






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






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






5. High blood pressure






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






7. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






8. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






9. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






10. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






11. 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






12. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






15. 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






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






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






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 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






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






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






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






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






25. Marker for inflammation in the body






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. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






28. High blood pressure






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






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






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






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






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






35. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






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






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






39. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






40. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






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






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






44. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






46. 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






47. Marker for inflammation in the body






48. 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






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






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