Across
- 1. determined by subtracting DBP from SBP
- 3. the force of contraction is equal to the force of expansion
- 4. definitive test for heart failure
- 6. how much stretch on the ventricles
- 11. apex of heart at 5th intercostal midline
- 12. chest pain
- 14. an elevation indicates cardiac damage (MI)
- 15. can lead to cardiac concerns and dysrhythmias
- 16. amount of blood pumped by ventricle in liters per minute
- 18. changes can cause electrical conduction concerns of the heart
- 20. should be >40 for men and >50 for women
- 21. monitors the heart's electrical signals
- 22. determines perfusion of the heart
- 23. lab for monitoring of heart damage (MI)
- 25. cranial verve that touches the heart
- 26. percent of end diastolic volume ejected with each heart beat (left ventricle)
- 28. should be <150
- 29. lab that determines clotting times for Heparin therapy
- 30. this helps to boost cardiac expansion and contractile force
Down
- 2. fainting
- 5. an enlarged heart
- 7. continuously monitors patient's ECG tracings
- 8. resistance to ejection of blood from ventricle
- 9. should be <100
- 10. should be <200
- 13. is the primary pacemaker
- 17. chest pain often relieved by rest
- 19. amount of blood, in mL, ejected from the left ventricle during ventricular systole
- 23. indicates inflammation
- 24. an elevation of >500 may indicate heart failure
- 27. treatment of choice for angina pectoris
