Across
  1. 1. a very rapid heartbeat that begins within the ventricles
  2. 5. disease of the heart muscle
  3. 8. arrhythmias caused by malfunction of the sinus node alternating bradycardia and tachycardia
  4. 10. ballooning of a weakened portion of an arterial wall
  5. 11. a block or delay of the normal electrical conduction of the heart
  6. 14. pressure on the heart caused by fluid in the pericardial space
  7. 15. chest pain
  8. 17. early contraction of the ventricles
  9. 18. abnormal swishing sound caused by improper closure of the heart valves
  10. 19. low blood pressure 90/60
  11. 22. disease of the arteries in the arms and legs, resulting in narrowing or complete obstruction of the artery
  12. 23. Abnormal heart rhythm
  13. 27. disease of the arteries surrounding the heart
  14. 33. slow heart rate (less than 60 bpm)
  15. 34. inflammation of a vein
  16. 35. hardening of the arteries
  17. 36. characterized by exaggerated vasoconstriction in the extremities, blue fingertips, triggered by cold and stress.
  18. 37. absence of contractions of the heart- cardiac arrest
Down
  1. 2. heart is unable to pump its required amount of blood
  2. 3. excessive cholesterol in the blood
  3. 4. enlargement of the heart
  4. 6. quivering of the heart
  5. 7. infarction Death of cardiac muscle due to ischemia
  6. 9. condition in which fatty deposits called plaque build up on the inner walls of the arteries
  7. 10. irregular heartbeat- atria are quivering
  8. 12. improper closure of the mitral valve
  9. 13. Fast heart rate (HR greater than 100bpm)
  10. 16. inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart
  11. 19. elevated blood pressure persistently higher than 140/90 mm Hg
  12. 20. abnormal heart rhythm which results in quivering of ventricles- this is a shockable rhythm
  13. 21. temporary low BP and dizziness when suddenly rising from a sitting or reclining position
  14. 24. sudden symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the heart indicating unstable angina or acute myocardial infarction
  15. 25. The swelling of tissues, usually in the lower limbs, due to the accumulation of fluids.
  16. 26. an inadequate blood supply to the heart
  17. 28. inflammation of the inner lining of the heart
  18. 29. excessive amounts of lipids in the blood
  19. 30. abnormally swollen, twisted veins with defective valves; most often seen in the legs
  20. 31. pain, tension, and weakness in a leg after walking has begun, but absence of pain at rest
  21. 32. pounding or racing heart the patient can feel
