Q.
complex proteins released by heart muscle when it is damaged; taken by blood sample to determine amount of heart disease or damage; most common cardiac enzymes are creatine kinase (CK), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
33

Q.
emergency procedure consisting of external cardiac compressions and artificial ventilation
34
30 sec
Q.
birth defect in wall separating two chambers of heart allowing blood to pass between two chambers; there can be atrial septal defect (ASD) or ventricular septal defect (VSD)
35
30 sec
Q.
the failure of the heart to pump efficiently, leading to excessive blood or fluids in the lungs, the body, or both
36
30 sec
Q.
open-heart surgery in which blood vessel, often leg vein, is grafted to route blood around occluded coronary artery
37
30 sec
Q.
a condition affecting arteries of the heart that reduces the flow of blood and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium; most often caused by atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis
38
30 sec
Q.
formation of a clot in a deep vein of the body, occurring most often in the femoral and iliac veins; pieces of the clot break away forming emboli.
39
30 sec
Q.
application of an electric shock to the myocardium through the chest wall to restore normal cardiac rhythm
40
30 sec
Q.
imaging technique using ultrasound to create moving image; utilized to evaluate blood flow through blood vessels, movement of heart valves, and movement of heart muscle during contraction
41
30 sec
Q.
process of recording the electrical activity of the heart
42
30 sec
Q.
surgical removal of plaque from the inner layer of an artery
43
30 sec
Q.
chaotic, irregular contractions of the heart, as in atrial or ventricular fibrillation
44
30 sec
Q.
an abnormal sound from the heart produced by defects in the chambers or valves
45
30 sec
Q.
cusps or flaps of heart valve are too loose and fail to shut tightly, allowing blood to flow backward (regurgitation) through valve when heart chamber contracts; most commonly occurs in mitral valve, but may affect any heart valve
46
30 sec
Q.
cusps or flaps of heart valve are too stiff and unable to open fully, making it difficult for blood to flow through; condition may affect any of heart valves but most often affects mitral valve
47

Q.
a portable electrocardiograph that is worn by an ambulatory patient to continuously monitor the heart rates and rhythms over a 24-hour period
48
30 sec
Q.
elevated blood pressure persistently higher than 140/90 mm Hg
49
30 sec
Q.
electrical device implanted in chest cavity with electrodes to heart; applies shock to heart to stop potentially life-threatening arrhythmias such as fibrillation
50
30 sec
Q.
Area of dead tissue after a lack of blood supply due to ischemia
51
30 sec
Q.
treatment for clots occluding blood vessel; drugs, such as streptokinase (SK) or tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), are injected into blood vessels to chemically dissolve clots; commonly referred to as clot-busters
52
30 sec
Q.
heart attack; death of myocardial tissue (infarction) caused by ischemia (loss of blood flow) as a result of an occlusion (plugging) of a coronary artery; usually caused by atherosclerosis; symptoms include pain in the chest or upper body (shoulders, neck, and jaw), shortness of breath, diaphoresis, and nausea
53
30 sec
Q.
loss of blood supply to heart muscle tissue of myocardium due to occlusion of coronary artery; may cause angina pectoris or myocardial infarction
54
30 sec
Q.
closure of a blood vessel due to blockage by thrombus, plaque, or embolus
55
30 sec
Q.
An electrical device for stimulating or steadying the heartbeat or reestablishing the rhythm of an arrested heart.
56
30 sec
Q.
Method for treating coronary artery narrowing; balloon catheter is inserted into coronary artery and inflated to dilate narrow blood vessels
57
30 sec
Q.
disease of blood vessels away from central region of body, most typically in legs; symptoms include pain, numbness, and impaired circulation
58
30 sec
Q.
instrument used to measure blood pressure; also referred to as blood pressure cuff
59

Q.
stainless steel tube placed within a blood vessel or a duct to widen the lumen
60

Q.
performed to assess cardiovascular health and function during and after stress
61

Q.
Abnormally rapid heartbeat
62

Q.
abnormally swollen, twisted veins with defective valves; most often seen in the legs
63

procedure used to puncture a vein with a needle to remove blood, instill a medication, or start an intravenous infusion
