Across
- 5. minimally invasive surgical procedure that threads a balloon up through artery and when balloon is filled the plaque is pushed against artery wall leaving room for blood flow
- 6. a condition that develops when your heart doesn't pump enough blood for your body's needs
- 9. excessive sweating or perspiration that is not due to physical exertion or warm temperatures
- 13. BORG scale; a way of measuring physical activity intensity level (RPE)
- 17. a form of low blood pressure that happens when standing after sitting or lying down
- 19. an abnormal bulge or ballooning in the wall of a blood vessel
- 20. buildup of lipid plaques inside the coronary arteries that can block blood flow to the heart muscle; most common form of arteriosclerosis, associated with damage to the endothelial lining of the vessels and the formation of lipid deposits, eventually leading to plaque formation
- 21. extra heartbeats in one of the heart's ventricles; disrupt the regular heart rhythm, sometimes causing a sensation of a fluttering or a skipped beat in the chest
- 22. blue discoloration
- 24. a condition marked by severe pain in the chest, often also spreading to the shoulders, arms, and neck, caused by an inadequate blood supply to the heart
- 25. major surgical procedure that opens up chest and positions a blood vessel to bypass a clot (CABG)
Down
- 1. the amount of O2 consumed at rest per unit of body weight for one minute; sitting is 1 (MET)
- 2. a heart rate over 100 beats a minute
- 3. a soft plaque in the coronary arteries may rupture which triggers formation of a blood clot that stops blood flow to the heart; A blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle (also known as a heart attack)
- 4. shortness of breath
- 5. irregular heartbeat that occurs when the electrical signals in the atria fire rapidly at the same time; causes the heart to beat faster than normal
- 7. muscle pain as a result of not enough oxygen
- 8. a blood clot that forms on the wall of a blood vessel or in the heart when blood platelets, proteins, and cells stick together
- 10. records the electrical activity of your heart whilst you exercise
- 11. slow heart rate; fewer than 60 beats a minute
- 12. injury or death of tissue (as of the heart or lungs) resulting from inadequate blood supply especially as a result of obstruction of the local circulation by a thrombus or embolus
- 14. a universal sign of ischemic chest pain, defined as an individual holding a clenched fist over the chest
- 15. the sensation of breathlessness in the recumbent position, relieved by sitting or standing
- 16. type of abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia); disorganized heart signals cause the ventricles to twitch or quiver uselessly
- 18. thickening, hardening, and loss of elasticity of arterial walls
- 23. pale, white
