Angina is a type of chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't receive enough oxygen-rich blood. It's often described as pressure, squeezing, or tightness in the chest.

What is a small device implanted under the skin, usually in the chest area, to help control abnormal heart rhythms?

What do we call the type of blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the body's tissues and organs?

Atrium refers to either of the two lower chambers of the heart, responsible for pumping blood to the lungs (right atrium) and to the rest of the body (left atrium).

A heart _____________ is an abnormal sound heard during a heartbeat, often through a stethoscope. It can indicate turbulent blood flow within the heart or blood vessels.

Veins are blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart from the body's tissues and organs. Unlike arteries, veins generally carry oxygen-depleted blood, except for the pulmonary vein, which carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.

The body's largest artery, originating from the left ventricle of the heart. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body's tissues and organs.

Cardiac arrest, also known as myocardial infarction, refers to the sudden loss of heart function, typically due to an electrical disturbance in the heart causing it to stop beating effectively. It's a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention such as CPR and defibrillation.

A buildup of cholesterol, fat, calcium, and other substances in the walls of arteries. Over time, it can narrow or block arteries, leading to various cardiovascular conditions such as coronary artery disease.

Structures within the heart that help control the direction of blood flow. They open and close with each heartbeat to ensure blood moves in the correct direction.

Heart __________ is a condition where the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It can result from various underlying conditions that weaken the heart muscle or make it work too hard.

Fibrillation is a rapid, irregular, and chaotic heart rhythm, often involving the atria (atrial fibrillation) or ventricles (ventricular fibrillation). It can be life-threatening if not promptly treated.

Due to the lungs singular connection to the circulatory system, it is possible to develop a condition called Pulmonary Hypertension.

Commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked for a prolonged period, leading to damage or death of heart muscle cells.

High blood pressure, or ___________, is a condition where the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high. It can strain the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of various cardiovascular complications

When an individual's blood pressure is under 90 over 60 we call it "low blood pressure" or _________

It refers to sensations of rapid, fluttering, or pounding heartbeats that may be felt in the chest, throat, or neck. While often harmless, they can sometimes indicate underlying heart rhythm abnormalities or other medical conditions.

A transient ischemic attack (TIA) occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is briefly interrupted, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. It can result in permanent loss of neurological function, such as paralysis, speech impairment, or cognitive deficits, depending on the area of the brain affected.

This imaging procedure involves using a catheter to inject a special dye into the coronary arteries and then using X-rays to look inside blood vessels.
