- 8. ____ sided heart failure is when blood backflows through the pulmonary vein into the lungs causing respiratory symptoms
- 10. Invasive procedure introducing an ultrasound transducer into the esophagus to detect arrhythmias and cardiac structure
- 13. Noninvasive cardiac ultrasound with ECG that tests cardiac function
- 14. Phase of blood pressure when the ventricles fill in preparation for contraction
- 15. A thinner and less elastic wall structure that carries non-oxygenated blood back to the heart
- 17. A surgical procedure in which a blood vessel is grafted to an occluded coronary artery so that blood can flow beyond the occlusion (use acronym)
- 18. Localized sac or dilation formed at a weak point in the wall of the artery
- 21. Type of aneurysm that causes patients to feel their heartbeat in their abdomen when lying down
- 23. A protein found in myocardial cells that is released into the bloodstream when damaged
- 26. A test that uses exercise or pharmacologic agents to mimic an increase in metabolic demand and identify myocardial ischemia

Down
- 1. Phase of blood pressure when the atriums and ventricles contract
- 2. Disease process that causes dilation of the ventricles thus decreasing the amount of blood ejected from the ventricle with systole
- 3. A medication that dilates veins and arteries, decreases ischemia, and relieves pain
- 4. When an abdominal aortic aneurysm _____, the client will often experience severe back or abdominal pain, decreased blood pressure, and a low hematocrit level.
- 5. Medication classification whose goal is to remove extracellular fluid by increasing diuresis
- 6. Medication classification that decreases blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility of the heart
- 7. A balloon-tipped catheter is used to open blocked coronary vessels, increase blood flow, and fix the myocardial ischemia (use acronym)
- 9. A vasodilating medication that mimics the effects of exercise during a nuclear stress test
- 11. Disease process that causes paleness, coolness, numbness, and decreased peripheral pulse of the lower extremities
- 12. Invasive procedure that visualizes the coronary vessels using contrast dye
- 16. Percentage of end-diastolic blood volume that is ejected with each heartbeat
- 19. Total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute
- 20. ___ sided heart failure is when blood backflows through the inferior and superior vena cava causing systemic symptoms
- 22. A neurohormone that is released by the heart when it is working harder to pump blood secondary to fluid overload on the heart (Use acronym)
- 24. A thick-walled structure that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues by smooth muscles contracting and relaxing
- 25. Medication classification that decreases plaque formation and lowers low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
