Cardiac disease and cardiac failure
Across
- 1. occurs when supply of oxygen to the cardiac muscle is inadequate to meet the needs of the myocardium
- 3. inability of the heart to pump normally, most common form of heart failure
- 6. common cause of diastolic and systolic heart failure
- 7. common cause of heart failure and SOBOE
- 10. reduced cardiac remodelling, antiarrhythmia, anti-ischaemic action, improves left ventricular ejection fraction
- 12. of MI depends on location, size, extent of damage,effect on cardiac output
- 13. inability of the heart to fill at normal filling pressures, despite normal ventricular function
- 17. conduction defects, seen on ECG
- 19. coronary artery that supplies the heart becomes occluded, relieved by rest, precipitated by activity
Down
- 1. heart attack, death of heart muscle due to inadequate oxygen
- 2. narrowing or blockage of the arteries and vessels that provide oxygen and nutrients to the heart
- 4. leading cause of death in Australia
- 5. either systolic or diastolic dysfunction of the ventricles
- 8. relieves congestive symptoms and peripheral oedema
- 9. grading of cardiac function, symptom classification
- 11. originate in SA node-AV node-R/L bundle branches-purkinje fibres
- 14. an accumulation of fatty materials on the inner linings of arteries, restricting blood flow to the heart
- 15. little or no precipitating factors
- 16. most commonly used assessment in heart failure
- 18. prevents further reconditioning
