Risk factors and investigations for atrial fibrillation
Across
- 3. Condition characterised by reduction of blood flow to the heart [3]
- 5. Causes of this include Graves’ disease, toxic adenoma and toxic multinodular goitre
- 7. Progressive deterioration of kidney function [3]
- 8. One of the ways to diagnose this condition is by dividing the patient’s weight by the square of their height (>30kg/m2)
- 9. Condition where insulin receptors develop resistance to insulin
- 12. Persistent elevation of arterial blood pressure
Down
- 1. Type of valve disease, characterised by narrowing of the mitral valve [2]
- 2. 1st line investigation for atrial fibrillation which involves recording the electrical activity of the heart over time
- 4. Excess consumption can cause liver disease
- 6. Discrepancy in cadiac output versus metabolic demands [2]
- 10. Doing this long term may cause lung cancer
- 11. Increasing ___ results in greater risk for AF
