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






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






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






4. 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






5. 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






6. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






7. 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






8. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






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






11. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






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






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






16. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






29. High blood pressure






30. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






31. 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






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






33. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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






35. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






37. High blood pressure






38. 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






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






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






41. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






43. 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






44. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






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






47. 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






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






49. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






50. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless
