- pressure force that blood exerts on the arterial walls; measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg)
- condition in which the heart becomes too weak to circulate blood effectively through the body
- large, muscular blood vessels that deliver blood from the heart to the rest of the body
- medical emergency in which blood vessels in the brain become narrow or blocked or burst, disrupting blood flow to a part of the brain
- medical emergency in which the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrow or blocked, disrupting blood flow to the heart
16 Clues: disease characterized by high blood pressure • flaps of tissue that control the flow of blood in the heart • abnormal heart rhythms; include fast, slow, and uncoordinated heartbeats • blood vessels that deliver blood from the rest of the body back to the heart • disease in which the walls of the arteries thicken, harden, and become inflexible • ...
