Across
  1. 1. Congestive Heart Failure
  2. 4. Blood vessel
  3. 6. Failure A chronic condition where the heart cannot pump or relax properly to meet the body's needs
  4. 11. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
  5. 15. A balloon-like bulge in the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the body. If it ruptures, it causes life-threatening internal bleeding
  6. 16. Problems with the electrical conduction system of the heart, causing it to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly
  7. 20. An inflatable cuff used to measure blood pressure.
  8. 21. Below/ deficient
  9. 22. Records the heart’s electrical activity to detect arrhythmias and signs of heart damage.
  10. 23. Used to listen (auscultate) to heart sounds and identify abnormal rhythms or murmurs.
  11. 24. Tiny, thin-walled vessels that allow for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste between the blood and body tissues
Down
  1. 2. Above/excessive
  2. 3. A disease of the heart muscle that causes the walls of the heart chambers to enlarge, thicken, or stiffen, making it harder to pump blood
  3. 5. Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
  4. 7. A small device implanted under the skin that sends electrical impulses to keep the heart beating at a normal rhythm
  5. 8. Heart
  6. 9. Return deoxygenated blood to the heart
  7. 10. The respiratory organs where blood drops off carbon dioxide and picks up fresh oxygen
  8. 12. Blood Pressure
  9. 13. Coronary Artery Disease
  10. 14. Heart Rate
  11. 17. The central muscular pump that drives blood circulation
  12. 18. Valve Disease Conditions where the heart's valves are too tight (stenosis) or leak (regurgitation), restricting proper blood flow
  13. 19. An X-ray imaging technique using dye injected via catheter to view blockages in the coronary arteries
