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






2. 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






3. Surgical treatment for heart diseases






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






5. High blood pressure






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






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






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






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






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






13. 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






14. 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






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






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






17. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






18. 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






19. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






20. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






21. 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






22. Medical method to observe inside of blood vessel






23. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






24. Surgical procedure that can help prevent TIA






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






26. Formation of blood clot inside blood vessel






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






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






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






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






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






32. 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






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






34. 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






35. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






38. 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






39. Marker for inflammation in the body






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






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






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






43. Extra or unusual sound during heartbeat - harmless






44. 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






45. 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






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






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






48. 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






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






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