| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A blood vessel that carries oxygen-poor blood from heart to lungs. | Pulmonary artery |
| Contraction phase of the heartbeat | systole |
| Located between the left upper and lower chambers of the heart. | Mitral valve |
| Saclike membrane surrounding the heart | pericardium |
| Sensitive tissue in the right atrium wall that begins the heartbeat | sinoatrial node |
| Blood vessels branching from the aorta to carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle | coronary arteries |
| Disease of heart muscle | cardiomyopathy |
| Inflammation of a vein | Phlebitis |
| Instrument to measure blood pressure | sphygmomanometer |
| A local widening of an artery | aneurysm |
| Bluish coloration of the skin | Cyanosis |
| Can lead to myocardial infarction. Blood is held back from an area. Can be caused by thrombotic occlusion of a blood vessel. May be a result of coronary artery disease. | Ischemia |
| Chest pain relieved with nitroglycerin. | Angina |
| Cardiac arrhythmia | fibrillation |
| Petechiae | small, pinpoint hemorrahages |
| Click-murmur syndrome | mitral valve prolapse |
| Four separate congenital heart defects | tetralogy of Fallot |
| Patent means | open |
| The cause of essential hypertension is | idiopathic |
| Digitalis | drug used to strengthen the heartbeat |
| CK, LD, and AST (SGOT) are | serum enzymes |
| ECHO | high frequency sound waves are transmitted into the chest |
| Incision of a vein | phlebotomy |
| Removal of plaque from an artery | endarterectomy |
| A Holter monitor is | An EKG taken during daily activity |
| The pacemaker of the heart is the | sinoatrial node |
| The sac-like membrane surrounding the heart is the | pericardium |
| The contractive phase of the heartbeat is called | systole |
| The relaxation phase of the heartbeat is called | diastole |
| Abnormal heart sound caused by improper closure of heart valves is | murmur |
| Hardening of arteries | arteriosclerosis |
| Enlargement of the heart | cardiamegaly |
| Inflammation of a vein with a clot | thrombophlebitis |
| Disease condition of heart muscle | cardiomyopathy |
| Condition of rapid heart beat | tachycardia |
| Smallest blood vessel | capillary |
| Largest artery in the body | aorta |
| lower chamber of the heart | ventricle |
| Carries blood from the lungs to the heart | pulmonary vein |
| Brings blood to heart from upper parts of the body | superior vena cava |
| Upper chamber of the heart | atrium |
| Valve between the left atrium and ventricle | mitral valve |
| Carries blood to the lungs from the heart | pulmonary artery |
| Small artery | arteriole |
| Valve between the right atrium and ventricle | tricuspid valve |
| Bluish coloration of the skin | cyanosis |
| Suture (repair) of an aneurysm | aneurysmorrhaphy |
| Failure of condiction of impulses from the AV node to bundle of His | heart block |
| Blood is held back from tissues | ischemia |
| Mass of plaque (cholesterol) | atheroma |
| Narrowing of a vessel | vasoconstriction |
| Dead tissue in heart muscle | myocardial infarction |
| Chest pain | angina |
| Blockage of a vessel due to a clot | thrombotic occlusion |
| High density lipoproteins | HDL |
| Treatment to dissolve clots in blood vessels | thrombolytic theraphy |
| Tube is introduced into a vessel and guided into the heart to detect pressures and blood flow | cardiac catheterization |
| Sinoatrial node (pacemaker) | SA node |
| Electrocardiogram | ECG |
