- 3. Electrocardiogram
- 4. blood
- 5. Occurs when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the heart. Without blood, tissue loses oxygen and dies.
- 8. Drug-eluting stent
- 9. on
- 12. Ventricular tachycardia
- 14. A serous membrane that forms the innermost layer of the pericardium and the outer surface of the heart.
- 16. The muscle layer of the heart responsible for the pumping action of the heart.
- 18. When blood clots block your blood vessels.
- 19. heart
- 21. Narrowing of the hearts mitral valve
- 23. Percutaneous coronary intervention
- 24. The test is generally done to see if there's a restriction in blood flow going to the heart. Coronary angiograms are part of a general group of procedures known as heart (cardiac) catheterizations.
Down
- 1. The thin, smooth membrane which lines the inside of the chambers of the heart and forms the surface of the valves.
- 2. Form of deliberately intense or thorough testing used to determine the stability of a given system, critical infrastructure or entity.
- 3. Provides pictures of the heart's valves and chambers and helps the sonographer evaluate the pumping action of the heart.
- 6. Muscle Makes up the thick middle layer of the heart.
- 7. Reduces the heart muscle's ability to pump blood.
- 10. Electrodes (small, plastic patches that stick to the skin) are placed at certain spots on the chest, arms, and legs.
- 11. A disease of the arteries characterized by the deposition of plaques of fatty material on their inner walls.
- 13. within
- 15. Bare metal stent
- 17. muscle
- 20. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI or CMR) produces detailed images of the beating heart.
- 22. External elastic membrane present in larger vessels
