Across
- 4. loop diuretic used to treat pulmonary congestion in MI
- 6. heart muscle tissue affected by infarction
- 10. Anti platelet drug given immediately in suspected MI
- 11. medication that decreases myocardial oxygen demand
- 13. supplement sometimes given in acute MI management
- 15. vasodilator that relieves chest pain by reducing preload
- 16. test that records the electrical activity of the heart
- 19. blood clot that can occlude coronary arteries
- 20. MI characterized by ST-segment elevation on ECG
- 21. severe complication of MI with poor cardiac output
- 23. area of tissue death caused by prolonged ischemia
Down
- 1. cardiac biomarker most specific for myocardial injury
- 2. inadequate blood supply to an organ, especially the heart
- 3. process of delivering blood and oxygen to tissues
- 5. myocardial infarction that occurs without noticeable symptoms
- 7. restoration of blood flow, often by PCI or thrombolytics
- 8. irregular heartbeat often triggered by myocardial injury
- 9. MI without ST-segment elevation, diagnosed with biomarkers
- 12. device placed in a coronary artery to keep it open
- 14. opioid used in MI management to reduce pain and anxiety
- 17. chest pain due to myocardial ischemia
- 18. factors conditions like hypertension, smoking, and diabetes
