  5. 7. Refers to a condition caused by plaque buildup inside the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle.
  6. 8. A test that records the heart's electrical activity to detect problems with the heart's rhythm and electrical signals.
  7. 11. ultrasound test that uses sound waves to create moving pictures of the heart
  8. 13. A chronic, progressive condition where the heart muscle is unable to pump blood efficiently, leading to fluid backup in the lungs and other body tissues.

  12. 21. Blood vessel
  13. 22. conditions where the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly, disrupting its electrical system
Down
  1. 2. records the heart's electrical activity
  2. 3. diagnosing blocked or narrowed coronary arteries
  3. 7. thin-walled blood vessels that connect arteries and veins, where the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste occurs
  4. 9. Blood vessels that transport deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
