Across
  1. 2. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
  2. 3. Uses ultrasound waves to create images of the heart valves and chambers.
  3. 5. Chronically elevated blood pressure forces the heart to work harder.
  4. 7. Infarction: A heart attack caused by blocked blood flow to the heart muscle.
  5. 11. Vessels that return deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
  6. 13. Failure: A chronic condition where the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should.
  7. 18. The buildup of fats and cholesterol plaques in the artery walls.
  8. 19. (ECG/EKG): Records the electrical signals of the heart to check for rhythm issues.
  9. 21. Myocardial Infarction
  10. 22. (Prefix): Means slow (e.g., bradycardia).
  11. 24. Catheterization: A procedure where a thin tube is guided through a blood vessel to the heart to detect blockages.
Down
  1. 1. Blood Pressure
  2. 2. (Root): Relates to the heart (e.g., cardiology).
  3. 4. Microscopic vessels where gas and nutrient exchange occurs.
  4. 6. The smooth inner epithelial tissue lining the chambers of the heart
  5. 8. An irregular, too fast, or too slow heartbeat.
  6. 9. Coronary Artery Disease
  7. 10. Test: Monitors heart function and rhythm while the patient exercises on a treadmill or stationary bike.
  8. 12. (Suffix): Means hardening (e.g., arteriosclerosis).
  9. 14. The primary muscular organ that pumps blood.
  10. 15. (Prefix): Means fast (e.g., tachycardia).
  11. 16. Monitor: A wearable device that tracks the heart's electrical activity continuously for 24 to 48 hours.
  12. 17. Muscular vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.
  13. 20. Congestive Heart Failure
  14. 23. (Root): Relates to blood vessels (e.g., angiogram).
