  3. 7. This is an acronym for procedures performed to open and allow for reperfusion of the coronary arteries
  4. 9. A generic name for an abnormal heart beat
  5. 11. This is the acronym for the syndrome that occurs when angina ceases to be stable
  6. 12. If your blood pressure cuff is too small then you will have a falsely ______ reading
  7. 13. I am the diagnostic test that allows you to view the visual structures of the heart and see how it is pumping
  8. 14. I am the amount of blood that your heart begins with- I am an overall measure of how much fluid your body has onboard
  9. 15. I am the type of angina that is not relieved with rest or nitroglycerin
  10. 16. In this type of fibrillation the bottom of the heart is not properly contracting, they will not have a pulse
  11. 17. This will restart the heart if you have no pulse but still have electrical activity
  12. 18. I am the type of MI that has elevated cardiac biomarkers but no changes to EKG
  13. 22. This can help to convert a patient out of an abnormal heart rhythm that still has a pulse
  14. 24. If you have this kind of IV, you should not be taking a BP on the same arm

  2. 2. Complication that happens 2-3 days after MI, nurse will note ST elevation in all leads
  3. 3. I am the cardiac biomarker that can tell you if cardiac damage is happening fast, but I stay elevated for a longer period of time
