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






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






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. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






5. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






7. 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






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






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






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






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. 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. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






15. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






16. High blood pressure






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






18. 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






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






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






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






22. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






24. 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






25. 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






26. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






29. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






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






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






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






34. 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






35. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






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






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






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






40. 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






41. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






42. 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






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






44. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






45. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






47. Marker for inflammation in the body






48. 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






49. High blood pressure






50. 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
