Across
  1. 4. Carry deoxygenated blood towards heart; thinner walls than arteries
  2. 5. mitral valve prolapse
  3. 7. heart or crown
  4. 8. dyspnea on exertion
  5. 14. Located in upper right chamber of heart; receives blood from the vena cava
  6. 15. A catheter used to inject dye into vessels surrounding the heart to show narrowing, aneurysms, collect samples, and detect pressure in the heart
  7. 18. Located inferior to the right atrium (lower right chamber); receives the deoxygenated blood from right atrium and pumps it to the pulmonary artery
  8. 21. Measures blood pressure; "blood pressure cuff"
  9. 22. Fat, like cholesterol, building up on the walls of the arteries; common cause of coronary artery disease (narrowing in the arteries surrounding the heart)
  10. 24. Located between left atrium and left ventricle; regulates blood flow between left atrium and ventricle
  11. 25. fatty substance
  12. 26. Located between right atrium and right ventricle and has three flaps; regulates blood flow in a forward direction from right atrium to ventricle
  13. 27. Complete stopping of the heart
  14. 29. dilated vein
  15. 30. vein
Down
  1. 1. Heart attack; part of the heart does not receive sufficient blood flow
  2. 2. Located inferior to the left atrium (lower left chamber); receives oxygen-rich blood from left atrium and pumps it to the aorta
  3. 3. Located between right ventricle and pulmonary artery; opening for deoxygenated blood to be carried to lungs by pulmonary artery
  4. 6. Portable ECG machine that the patient wears over a few days
  5. 9. Uses ultrasound to look at the heart and its vessels
  6. 10. "EKG" or "ECG"; used to record electrical activity of heart and check heart rhythm
  7. 11. Located between aorta and left atrium; carries deoxygenated blood from right ventricle to lungs
  8. 12. Largest artery in the body, which carries oxygenated blood away from heart
  9. 13. Swollen and dilated veins; often found in legs and cause pain
  10. 16. An artery has a weakened wall, causing it to swell like a balloon
  11. 17. deep vein thrombus
  12. 19. vessel
  13. 20. Located in upper left chamber of heart; receives blood from pulmonary circulation
  14. 23. implantable cardioverter defibrillator
  15. 28. premature ventricular contraction
