Across
- 4. period of ventricular filling
- 5. sodium rushes into the cell
- 8. how hard the heart has to push to get blood out
- 9. formation of clot with inflammation
- 13. right heart preload
- 15. decreased blood flow to organs & small vessels
- 18. balloon catheter compresses plaque
- 19. period when no stimuli can generate another action potential
- 20. AKA regurgitation
Down
- 1. heart muscle disease
- 2. fibers that carry electrical impulse to ventricular walls
- 3. coronary artery supplying blood to anterior wall of heart
- 6. valve normally closed during left ventricular systole
- 7. increases resistance to blood flow
- 10. hypotension that may develop when standing
- 11. these lipoproteins have more protein than lipid
- 12. tunica intima
- 14. chest pain due to myocardial ischemia
- 16. outpouching of arterial wall formed at weak point
- 17. these plaques have thin fibrous caps
- 21. mobile thrombus
