Across
- 3. emission tomography (PET) scan / This is a nuclear scan that gives information about the flow of blood through the coronary arteries to the heart muscle
- 6. / record, radiographic image
- 7. muscle disease / disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body
- 9. / producing, originating, causing
- 11. failure / a condition that develops when your heart doesn't pump enough blood for your body's needs

- 21. tissue / specialized tissue in animals that applies forces to different parts of the body by contraction
- 22. / Acute myocardial infarction
- 23. CT scan / This imaging procedure uses an X-ray machine and a computer to create a 3-D pictures of the heart. Can also be used to find out how much calcium is in your heart arteries

- 1. /between
- 2. / above, excessive
- 4. echocardiogram / noninvasive test that uses sound waves to evaluate your heart's chambers and valves, and how well it pumps.
- 5. / muscle at the center of your circulation system
- 8. tissue / found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves
- 10. / Non-ST elevated myocardial infarction
- 11. / a muscle that pumps blood to all parts of your body
- 15. tissue / forms the covering of all body surfaces
- 16. / Cardiovascular disease
- 18. / quick and painless test that records the electrical signals in the heart
- 19. loop recorder / This device is about the size of a AAA battery. Your provider puts the device under the skin over the heart. The device monitors and records heartbeats for up to 3 years.
- 20. attack / when the flow of blood that brings oxygen to a part of your heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked
