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. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






3. 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






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






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






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






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






8. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






9. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






10. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






12. High blood pressure






13. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






14. 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






15. 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






16. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






17. 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






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






19. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






20. 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






21. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






24. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






25. 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






26. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






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






30. 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






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






32. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






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






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. 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






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






38. 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






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






40. 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






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






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






43. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






45. High blood pressure






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






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






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






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






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