Across
- 3. potentially fatal collagen disease causing inflammation of small visceral arteries; symptoms depend on the organ affected
- 7. emboli on or in which pathogens (usually bacteria) are growing
- 8. a peptide hormone that constricts blood vessels, causes the retention of sodium and water, and produces thirst and a salt appetite
- 13. A protein of muscle that together with tropomyosin forms a regulatory protein complex controlling the interaction of actin and myosin and that when combined with calcium ions permits muscular contraction
- 15. hormone secreted by the kidney; it raises blood pressure by influencing vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels)
- 17. an excessive localized enlargement of an artery caused by a weakening of the artery wall.
- 18. the occlusion of one or more coronary arteries caused by plaque buildup (heart attack)
- 20. results when the infarcted myocardial wall becomes thinned and bulges out during contraction
- 21. ...a form of stroke caused by intracerebral hemorrhage in hypertensive persons, usually related to a sudden rupture of damaged brain arteries
- 22. mural ...a clot attached to the wall of the vessels of the innermost layer of the heart's chambers
- 25. a condition in which an artery wall thickens as a result of the buildup of fatty materials
- 26. effusion of blood into the pericardial space
- 30. Infection and inflammation of the lymphatic vessels
- 31. acute compression of the heart caused by fluid accumulation in the pericardial cavity
- 36. temporal artery granulomatous vasculitis, can cause ipsilateral blindness (ophthalmic artery)
- 37. a peripheral arterial occlusive disease in which intermittent attacks are triggered by cold or stress
Down
- 1. inflammation of the pericardium
- 2. mini heart attacks- fluid in lungs
- 4. a congenital malformation of the heart involving four distinct defects
- 5. Fatty tumors in the intima of the heart vessels
- 6. Diffuse thickening of the basement membrane in small arterioles is one of the most consistent findings in diabetes.
- 9. a tear that occurs in the infarcted region of the heart following a myocardial infarction.
- 10. in the heart at birth
- 11. the clogging of the vessels that nourish the heart muscle; the leading cause of death in many developed countries
- 12. right ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure due to pulmonary hypertension
- 14. "salt-retaining hormone" which promotes the retention of Na+ by the kidneys. na+ retention promotes water retention, which promotes a higher blood volume and pressure
- 16. inflammation of a vein associated with a clot formation
- 19. large hole between two ventricles lets venous blood pass from the right to the left ventricle and out to the aorta without oxygenation
- 23. the term used to describe all diseases of the heart muscle
- 24. inflammation of the inner lining of the heart
- 27. excessive amounts of lipids in the blood
- 28. in the septum that divides the two atria of the heart
- 29. a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, especially in conditions of stress, increasing rates of blood circulation, breathing, and carbohydrate metabolism and preparing muscles for exertion.
- 32. Abnormal heart rhythm
- 33. inflammation of blood vessels
- 34. inflammation of the myocardium
- 35. a condition or disease caused by a temporary deficiency in blood flow to an organ or tissue
