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 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






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






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






4. 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






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






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






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






8. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






10. High blood pressure






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






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






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






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






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






16. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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. Walking a treadmill or stationary bike while taking an electrocradiogram






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






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






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






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






31. 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






32. High blood pressure






33. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






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. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






39. 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






40. 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






41. 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






42. Marker for inflammation in the body






43. 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






44. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






45. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






46. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






48. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






50. Surgical treatment for heart diseases
