  2. 8. A condition where blood pressure is lower than normal, leading to symptoms like dizziness, fainting, and fatigue.
  3. 9. A diagnostic test that uses sound waves (ultrasound) to create moving images of the heart.
  4. 13. A suffix referring to the narrowing or constriction of a passage or vessel in the body.
  5. 15. A non-invasive imaging technique using magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of internal structures, often used to examine the heart.
  6. 17. This device records the electrical activity of the heart and is used to detect arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions.
  7. 19. An upper chamber of the heart that receives blood coming into the heart, either from the body or lungs.
  8. 20. Microscopic blood vessels where the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste occurs between blood and tissues.
  9. 21. A suffix meaning vessels
  10. 24. A condition commonly known as high blood pressure.
  11. 25. A valve located between the left atrium and left ventricle, ensuring that blood flows only in one direction from the atrium to the ventricle, preventing backflow.
  12. 26. A lower chamber of the heart that pumps blood out to the lungs or the rest of the body.
  13. 27. The main pumping organ of the cardiovascular system.

Down
  1. 2. The largest artery in the body, which carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body.
  2. 3. A valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle, responsible for preventing blood from flowing backward into the atrium when the ventricle contracts.
  3. 4. (abbrev.)The large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper part of the body back to the right atrium of the heart.
  4. 5. (abbrev.) For Electrocardiogram
  5. 6. Blood vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart from the body.
  6. 7. A common imaging tool that provides a view of the heart and lungs to check for conditions like heart enlargement or fluid buildup in the lungs.
  7. 10. (abbrev.)The large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower part of the body back to the right atrium of the heart.
  8. 11. A medical term for a heart attack
  9. 12. The thick muscular layer of the heart responsible for pumping blood, located between the epicardium and endocardium.
  10. 14. (abbrev.) For the condition Patent Foramen Ovale -- when the Foramen ovale does not close entirely after birth.
  11. 15. A genetic disorder that affects connective tissue, leading to abnormalities in the heart, blood vessels, bones, and eyes.
  12. 16. A suffix used to indicate a condition of the blood.
  13. 18. Pertaining to the muscle
  14. 20. (abbrev.) A condition where the heart's ability to pump blood is impaired, leading to a buildup of fluid in the lungs and other parts of the body.
  15. 22. A non-invasive imaging technique that provides detailed pictures of the coronary arteries, helping to detect blockages or narrowing.
  16. 23. Blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the body.
