  1. 6. A procedure to open narrowed arteries. During the procedure, a doctor places a special catheter (balloon catheter) into the narrowed artery to widen it. This helps improve or restore blood flow to your heart.
  2. 7. This cardiac situation occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops pumping. If this happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs.
  3. 8. An irregular heartbeat, which can be too fast, too slow, or irregular.
  4. 13. Blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body.
  5. 14. Swelling in the body, mainly found in the hands, feet, legs, or abdomen from accumulation of fluids.
  6. 15. A fatty deposit that can build up in the arteries and block blood flow.
  7. 17. ____-__-____ is a no cost benefit for employees diagnosed with high blood pressure. It can be accessed through our Wellbeing platform, Personify Health. Employees accessing this benefit can get a smart blood pressure monitor, a personalized action plan, and expert coaching.
  8. 18. This one form of measurement is used to show if your weight is in the healthy range for your height. It measures body fat based on height and weight. There are four categories — underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obese.

The heart has to work harder to pump blood to regulate your heartbeat. Your doctor may use a pacemaker along with a defibrillator to treat a heart rhythm problem.
  3. 3. This machine records your heart’s electrical activity to see if it’s functioning correctly. This test can help diagnose heart arrhythmias or a heart attack. It’s usually combined with other tests when assessing overall heart health.

If blood flow is not restored quickly, the heart muscle will begin to die.
  6. 9. Chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygenated blood.
  7. 10. A doctor who is trained to treat heart conditions.
  8. 11. A device implanted on the heart to help control the electrical pulses that regulate your heartbeat. Your doctor may use a pacemaker along with a defibrillator to treat a heart rhythm problem.
