  1. Usually occurs as a result of left-sided failure. when the left ventricle fails, increased fluid pressure is, in effect, transferred back through the lungs-causing swelling in the legs and with the abdomen.
  2. This med can treat heart failure and heart rhythm problems.
  3. This is a vasodilator that treats high blood pressure.
  4. caused by blood clots that travel from the legs or, rarely, other parts of the body. Symptoms include SOB, chest pain, and cough.
  5. If needed, treatment includes anti-arrhythmic drugs, medical procedures, implantable devices, and surgery.
  6. A disease of the heart muscles that makes it harder for your heart to pump blood to the rest of your body. This can lead to heart failure-types include dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive.
  7. This drug is called a beta-blocker. It's used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, heart failure and angina. It works by relaxing blood pressure and slowing heart rate which improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure.
  8. Can help prevent heart attacks in people with coronary artery disease and in those who have a higher than average risk.
  9. Early treatment with medications like tPA can minimize brain damage. Other treatments focus on limiting complications.
  10. A chronic condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should. Treatments include eating less salt, limiting fluid, and medications. Sometimes a defibrillator or PPM may be implanted.
  11. This class of medications widens blood vessels.

  3. Treatments include medications for lower BP and control heart rate, heart devices, catheter procedures, and surgery. Serious cases may require a heart transplant.
  4. This class of medications relaxes blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, and prevents diabetes-related kidney damage.
  5. The first beta-blocker labeled in the U.S. specifically for the treatment of heart failure-has been shown to improve left ventricular ejection fraction and may reduce mortality.
  6. Treatments include lifestyle changes, medications, angioplasty, and surgery.
  7. An antiplatelet medication that is used to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke in those at high risk.
  8. Eating a healthier diet with less salt, exercising regularly, and taking meds can help with this.
  9. A condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high.
  10. This med works by blocking a substance in the body that causes the blood vessels to tighten, which relaxes the blood vessels. This lowers blood pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
  11. A type of chest caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
