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. 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






2. High blood pressure






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






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






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






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






7. 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






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






9. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






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






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






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






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. 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. 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






18. 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






19. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






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






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






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






24. 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






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






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






27. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






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






30. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






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






34. 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






35. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






36. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






37. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






38. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






39. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






40. High blood pressure






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






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






43. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






44. 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






45. 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






46. 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






47. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






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