  1. This dangerous episode in the heart, often caused by coronary artery disease, is also known as a myocardial infarction. It occurs suddenly and is an emergency. It happens when the flow of blood that brings oxygen to a part of your heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked. Your heart can’t get enough oxygen. If blood flow is not restored quickly, the heart muscle will begin to die.
  2. Swelling in the body mainly found in the hands, feet, legs, or abdomen from accumulation of fluids.

Systolic is the first number and is the force when blood is pumped out of the heart. Diastolic is the second number and is the force between heartbeats when the heart is filling with blood.
  9. This blood pressure assessment tool has an inflatable cuff that wraps around the arm with a gauge on the cuff that measures blood pressure. The gauge uses a unit of measurement called millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) to measure the pressure in your blood vessels.
