Question | Answer |
thin double walled sac that encloses the heart | pericardium |
the outer covering of the pericardium | parietal pericardium |
inner layer of the pericardium | visceral pericardium; epicardium |
the space between the parietal and visceral pericardium | pericardial sac |
the outer layer of the heart | epicardium |
middle muscular layer of the heart | myocardium |
the inner layer of the heart | endocardium |
heart is divided into how many chambers | four |
two upper chambers are known as | right and left atria |
two lower chambers are known as | right and left ventricles |
the wall between the right and left side of the heart | septum |
deoxygenated blood enters into the | right atrium from the inferior and superior vena cava |
from the right artrium bloods goes to the | right ventricle |
from the right ventricle blood goes to the | lungs via the pulmonary arteries |
blood returns from the lungs into the | left atrium via the pulmonary veins |
from the left atrium blood goes to the | left ventricle |
from the left ventricle bloods goes to the | body via the aorta |
the valve between the right atrium and ventricle | tricuspid valve |
valve between the left atrium and ventricle | bicuspid valve; mitral |
valve between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery | pulmonary valve |
valve between the left ventricle and aorta | aortic valve |
arteries that supply the heart muscle | coronary arteries |
the pacemaker of the heart is known as | sinoatrial node |
the node at the base of the atrium | atrioventricular node |
vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart | arteries |
vessels that carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart | veins |
between the blood and cells | capillaries |
heart contracts, exerting the greatest pressure on the walls of the arteries | systole |
heart relaxes, refilling before next contraction | diastole |
normal adult heart rate | 60-100bpm |
heart rate consistently below 60 | bradycardia |
heart rate consistently above 100 | tachycardia |
intermittent chest pain caused by insufficient blood supply to the heart | angina pectoris |
disease of the heart muscle | cardiomyopathy |
condition that is characterized by back up of fluid in the heart and lungs | congestive heart failure |
narrowing of the coronary arteries that prevent blood supply to the heart | coronary artery disease |
inflammation of the membrane lining of the heart chambers | endocarditis |
drooping of one or both cusps of the mitral valve | mitral valve prolapse |
heart attack | myocardial infarction |
inflammation of the myocardium caused by virus or bacteria | myocarditis |
inflammatory disease that may occur due to untreated strep infection | rheumatic fever |

weakening in the wall of an arteries | aneurysm |
high blood pressure | hypertension |
inflammation of a vein associated with the formation of a thrombus | thrombophlebitis |
enlarged superficial veins that are twisted, dilated with incompetent valves | varicose veins |
abnormal opening between the pulmonary artery and aorta | patent ductus arteriosus |
congenital anomaly that consists of four defects | tetralogy of fallot |
this results in ineffective contractions of the ventricles resulting in a patient with no heart beat, no pulse, no circulation | ventricular fibrillation |
a diagnostic procedure in which a catheter is threaded through a major artery to observe the circulation of the heart | cardiac catheterization |
diagnostic procedure using ultrasound to evaluate the structure of the heart | echocardiogram |
a graph recording of the electrical action of the heart | electrocardiogram; EKG |
small portable monitoring device that records an EKG during normal daily activities | holter monitor |
blood tests that may indicate damage to the myocardium | cardiac enzymes and troponin |
localized or general condition of swelling due to excess tissue fluid | edema |
difficulty breathing | dyspnea |
condition of blueness of the skin | cyanosis |
enlarged heart | megalocardia |
inflammation of a vein | phlebitis |
pounding or racing of the heart | palpitation |
formation of a blood clot | thrombosis |
decreased oxygen supply to body part or organ | ischemia |
enlargement of the liver | hepatomegaly |
one who specializes in the study of diseases and disorders of the heart | cardiologist |
cramplike pain in the calves due to poor circulation | claudication |
nonsurgical procedure in which a ballon is inserted into a blocked artery and is inflated to enlarge the opening | coronary angioplasty |
surgical procedure that uses bypass graft to reroute the blood around occlusions in the coronary artery | coronary bypass surgery |

cusp | any of the small flaps of a heart vavle |
dysrhymia | abnormal rhythm |
embolus | clot that dislodged from one vessel and moved to another vessel |
hemostasis | stopping of blood flow |
pathway of electrical impulses that travel through the heart | SA node; AV node; Bundle of His;Purkinje Fibers |
circulation of blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and back to the heart is known as | pulmonary circulation |
pathway of pulmonary circulation | right atrium to the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries to the lungs and back to the heart |
circulation of oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body is known as | systemic circulation |
pathway of systemic circulation | pulmonary veins to the left atrium to the left ventricles to the aorta to the rest of the body |
