- 12. / Artery
- 14. / An ultrasound of the heart
- 17. / Primary pump for the Cardiovascular System
- 18. / A test that measures the electrical activity of the heartbeat
- 21. / A type of arrhythmia that creates blood clots
- 23. Heart Failure / When the heart is to weak or stiff to pump blood effectively
