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. Heart enzyme usually elevated in blood stream during heart attack






2. 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






3. 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






4. 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






5. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






7. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






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






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






11. High blood pressure






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






13. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






20. 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






21. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






22. 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






23. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






24. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






25. 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






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. Walking a treadmill or stationary bike while taking an electrocradiogram






28. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






29. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






32. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






34. 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






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






36. High blood pressure






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






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






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






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






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






42. 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






43. 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






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






45. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






46. 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






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






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. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless
