Across
  1. 4. Electrocardiogram
  2. 6. means "vessel."
  3. 7. A condition where the heart is unable to pump sufficiently to maintain blood flow to meet the body’s needs, which can result from various underlying conditions.
  4. 9. means "inflammation."
  5. 11. This test measures the electrical activity of the heart and can help identify arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other heart conditions.
  6. 13. A portable device that continuously records the heart's rhythm over 24-48 hours, useful for detecting arrhythmias that might not show up during a standard ECG
  7. 16. Hypertension
  8. 19. Coronary Artery Disease
  9. 20. tiny blood vessels where the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste occurs between blood and tissues
  10. 21. This condition involves narrowing of the peripheral arteries, typically in the legs, reducing blood flow and increasing the risk of cardiovascular events.
  11. 22. This test evaluates the heart's response to physical exertion, helping to identify issues like coronary artery disease.
  12. 23. This occurs when the coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked due to atherosclerosis, which can lead to heart attacks.
Down
  1. 1. Chronic high blood pressure can damage blood vessels and lead to heart failure, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems.
  2. 2. means "heart."
  3. 3. Congestive Heart Failure
  4. 5. Myocardial Infarction (commonly known as a heart attack)
  5. 6. larger blood vessels that return deoxygenated blood to the heart
  6. 7. organ that is responsible for providing oxygen to the body
  7. 8. These are irregular heartbeats that can disrupt normal blood flow and may lead to serious complications like stroke or cardiac arrest.
  8. 10. means "blood."
  9. 12. carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body
  10. 14. means "condition of the blood."
  11. 15. A procedure that uses X-rays and a contrast dye to visualize blood vessels, often used to identify blockages in the coronary arteries.
  12. 17. An ultrasound of the heart that provides images of its structure and function, helping to assess conditions like heart failure and valve problems.
  13. 18. carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart
