Cardiovascular System
Across
- 2. A test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart to diagnose heart disease and evaluate heart function.
- 3. Atrial Fibrillation
- 5. Abnormal heart rhythm, which can cause dizziness, palpitations, and even sudden cardiac arrest.
- 6. Tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins, allowing for the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between blood and tissues.
- 7. High blood pressure, which can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other complications.
- 8. Blood vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart from the rest of the body.
- 11. The muscular organ responsible for pumping blood throughout the body
- 13. Heart
- 14. In the blood
- 17. A condition where the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, causing fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelling in the legs and ankles.
- 18. A condition where the blood vessels outside of the heart and brain become narrow or blocked, leading to poor circulation and pain in the legs.
- 20. A fluid connective tissue that carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.

Down
- 1. A condition where the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle become narrow or blocked, leading to chest pain and heart attacks.
- 4. A procedure where a thin tube is inserted into a blood vessel in the arm or leg and guided to the heart to diagnose and treat heart problems.
- 6. Congestive Heart Failure
- 9. A test that measures the heart's response to physical activity or medication to diagnose heart disease and evaluate heart function.
- 10. A test that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the heart and blood vessels to diagnose heart disease and evaluate heart function.
- 12. Hardening of the arteries
- 13. Coronary artery disease
- 14. A test that records the electrical activity of the heart to diagnose heart rhythm problems and other cardiac conditions.
- 15. Myocardial Infarction
- 16. record or image
- 19. Blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body.
- 20. Blood Pressure
