Coronary Artery Disease
Across
- 2. High blood pressure risk factor for coronary artery disease
- 4. Death of heart muscle due to prolonged lack of blood flow
- 6. Trigger for stable angina due to increased oxygen demand
- 7. Major modifiable risk factor for coronary artery disease
- 10. Relief of angina symptoms due to reduced myocardial demand
- 11. Drug that relieves angina by dilating coronary vessels
- 15. Angina caused by coronary artery spasm occurring at rest
- 17. Chest pain due to myocardial ischemia without infarction
- 20. Fatty plaque buildup in arterial walls causing coronary artery disease
Down
- 1. Excessive sweating seen in acute coronary syndrome
- 3. Fatty deposit that narrows arteries in atherosclerosis
- 5. Chest pain on exertion relieved by rest due to temporary reduced blood flow
- 8. Reduced oxygen supply to heart tissue
- 9. Feeling of tiredness due to reduced cardiac output
- 12. Vessel supplying oxygenated blood to the heart
- 13. Common symptom of coronary artery disease
- 14. Metabolic disease increasing risk of vascular damage and CAD
- 16. “Bad” cholesterol that contributes to plaque formation
- 18. “Good” cholesterol that protects against plaque formation
- 19. Shortness of breath associated with myocardial ischemia
