Cardiovascular Terminology
Across
- 2. itis (Inflammation)
- 6. At least five tools used to diagnose problems in the cardiovascular system
- 7. failure (A chronic condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should.)
- 11. (the use of ultrasound waves to investigate the action of the heart.)
- 12. slow or unexcessive )
- 15. (the main artery of the body, supplying oxygenated blood to the circulatory system.)
- 16. (Capillaries are very tiny blood vessels — so small that a single red blood cell can barely fit through them.
- 18. disease (A swelling and irritation of the thin saclike membrane surrounding the heart)
- 22. valve disease ( one or more of the valves in your heart doesn't work properly. )
- 24. (Heart)
- 25. ( Percutaneous coronary intervention )
- 26. ( Cardiovascular disease )
Down
- 1. Tests( a laboratory analysis performed on a blood sample that is usually extracted from a vein in the arm using a hypodermic needle
- 3. ( sound )
- 4. ( Electron beam computed tomography is a specific form of computed tomography in which the X-ray tube is not mechanically spun in order to rotate the source of X-ray photons. )
- 5. vascular disease (A circulatory condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs.)
- 8. Heart (a hollow muscular organ that pumps the blood through the circulatory system by rhythmic contraction and dilation.)
- 9. ( fast or excessive )
- 10. Cardiac MRI ( produces detailed images of the beating heart.)
- 13. ( Heart Failure )
- 14. ( a record or display of a person's heartbeat produced by electrocardiography.)
- 17. tissues or organs from the cardiovascular system
- 19. ( Electrocardiogram )
- 20. heart disease (A disease that can result from inadequately treated strep throat or scarlet fever.)
- 21. (any of the muscular-walled tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood is conveyed from the heart to all parts of the body.
- 23. At least five diseases that can affect the cardiovascular system
- 27. (any of the tubes forming part of the blood circulation system of the body, carrying in most cases oxygen-depleted blood toward the heart.)
