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






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






3. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






4. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






5. 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






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






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






8. 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






9. 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






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






11. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






14. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






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






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






18. 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






19. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






21. 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






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






23. 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






24. 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






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






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






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






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






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. High blood pressure






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






32. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






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






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






36. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






38. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






39. High blood pressure






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






41. 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






42. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






44. 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






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






46. Marker for inflammation in the body






47. 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






48. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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