Across
- 2. Between the atrium and ventricle on the left side of the heart
- 5. The portion of the EKG between two waves
- 7. Veins that bring oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium
- 9. Circulation of blood from the heart's left side to the body
- 14. Fiberous fluid filled sac that encloses the heart and allows for expansion
- 15. Abnormal heart sound
- 16. No heart contractions "flat line"
- 20. Electrical charge that causes the contraction of one part of the heart while the other part relaxes
- 23. The aortic and pulmonic valves
- 25. The relaxation phase of the heart, recovery phase
- 27. Chest leads
- 28. Also know as the mitral valve
- 29. The instrument used to record the electrical activity of the heart
- 30. Period from the beginning of one beat to the beginning of the next beat; 1 heart beat
