Across
  1. 2. type of birth defect that allows blood from the left heart to reenter right heart
  2. 5. type of cardiomyopathy where heart muscle becomes thin and flabby
  3. 6. hearts pacemaker
  4. 8. tennis shoes in the dryer auscultation and an EKG with no P wave
  5. 9. cardiomyopathy where heart muscle thickens
  6. 13. heartbeat spontaneously generated from bundle of his independent of SA node
  7. 14. valve dysfunction commonly caused by chronic dental disease
  8. 15. outermost "layer" of heart
  9. 17. in left sided heart failure fluid accumulates here
  10. 19. heart muscles relax
  11. 20. some cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy present with this
  12. 21. free fluid may accumulate in the abodominal or pleural cavity due to this
Down
  1. 1. insuffucient blood volume and/or pressure to deliver oxygen to tissues
  2. 2. thickening of tissue below the aortic valve, common in large breed dogs
  3. 3. ventricular diastole seen on ekg
  4. 4. heart beat doesn't produce matching pulse wave
  5. 7. can cause sudden death, EKG looks like ghosts holding hands
  6. 10. inflammation of heart muscle
  7. 11. swishing sound heard from heart due to turbulent blood flow
  8. 12. birth defect that causes left heart volume overload due to recirculation of blood from the aorta into the lungs
  9. 16. a dietary deficiency of this can cause dilated cardiomyopathy in cats
  10. 18. type of arrhythmia normal in dogs and horses where heart rate increases during inhalation
  11. 22. if hypertrophic cardiomyopathy isn't hereditary in cats, it's commonly caused by this
