  3. 12. / prefix meaning clot
  4. 13. embolism / occurs when a blood clot gets lodged in an artery in the lung, blocking blood flow to part of the lung
  5. 14. / machine records the electrical activity of the heart, which helps check heart rhythm and may diagnose other heart issues.

  7. 18. Cardiac rhythm management
  8. 19. a hollow muscular organ that pumps the blood through the circulatory system by rhythmic contraction and dilation
  9. 21. failure / chronic, progressive condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs for blood and oxygen doesn’t get the blood flow it needs, lack of blood flow is caused by a blockage or a narrowing in one of the coronary arteries
  10. 22. monitoring / a portable ECG machine that the patient wears over a few days which records heart activity to show a possible pattern for the symptoms the patient may be having.
