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






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






3. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






4. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






5. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






6. 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






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






8. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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. 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






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






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






13. High blood pressure






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






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






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






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






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






20. 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






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






23. High blood pressure






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. Heart enzyme usually elevated in blood stream during heart attack






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






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






28. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






29. Marker for inflammation in the body






30. 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






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






32. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






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






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. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






36. 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






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






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






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






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






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. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






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






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






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






47. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






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