Across
  1. 8. ____ sided heart failure is when blood backflows through the pulmonary vein into the lungs causing respiratory symptoms
  2. 10. Invasive procedure introducing an ultrasound transducer into the esophagus to detect arrhythmias and cardiac structure
  3. 13. Noninvasive cardiac ultrasound with ECG that tests cardiac function
  4. 14. Phase of blood pressure when the ventricles fill in preparation for contraction
  5. 15. A thinner and less elastic wall structure that carries non-oxygenated blood back to the heart
  6. 17. A surgical procedure in which a blood vessel is grafted to an occluded coronary artery so that blood can flow beyond the occlusion (use acronym)
  7. 18. Localized sac or dilation formed at a weak point in the wall of the artery
  8. 21. Type of aneurysm that causes patients to feel their heartbeat in their abdomen when lying down
  9. 23. A protein found in myocardial cells that is released into the bloodstream when damaged
  10. 26. A test that uses exercise or pharmacologic agents to mimic an increase in metabolic demand and identify myocardial ischemia
  11. 27. Force generated by the contracting myocardium
Down
  1. 1. Phase of blood pressure when the atriums and ventricles contract
  2. 2. Disease process that causes dilation of the ventricles thus decreasing the amount of blood ejected from the ventricle with systole
  3. 3. A medication that dilates veins and arteries, decreases ischemia, and relieves pain
  4. 4. When an abdominal aortic aneurysm _____, the client will often experience severe back or abdominal pain, decreased blood pressure, and a low hematocrit level.
  5. 5. Medication classification whose goal is to remove extracellular fluid by increasing diuresis
  6. 6. Medication classification that decreases blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility of the heart
  7. 7. A balloon-tipped catheter is used to open blocked coronary vessels, increase blood flow, and fix the myocardial ischemia (use acronym)
  8. 9. A vasodilating medication that mimics the effects of exercise during a nuclear stress test
  9. 11. Disease process that causes paleness, coolness, numbness, and decreased peripheral pulse of the lower extremities
  10. 12. Invasive procedure that visualizes the coronary vessels using contrast dye
  11. 16. Percentage of end-diastolic blood volume that is ejected with each heartbeat
  12. 19. Total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute
  13. 20. ___ sided heart failure is when blood backflows through the inferior and superior vena cava causing systemic symptoms
  14. 22. A neurohormone that is released by the heart when it is working harder to pump blood secondary to fluid overload on the heart (Use acronym)
  15. 24. A thick-walled structure that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues by smooth muscles contracting and relaxing
  16. 25. Medication classification that decreases plaque formation and lowers low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
