Across
  1. 1. : Hardening of the arteries
  2. 4. : A test that uses ultrasound to look at the heart and its vessels.
  3. 7. : Very thin walls so the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide as well as the exchange of nutrients can occur
  4. 10. : Disorder in which there is a narrowing in the arteries surrounding the heart
  5. 11. : Slow
  6. 13. : Instrument to measure pressure
  7. 21. : Heart is not efficiently pumping from the left ventricle, causing reduced blood flow
  8. 22. : Coronary artery bypass graft
  9. 23. : Procedure done in a specialized area of radiology

  1. 2. : Instrument to measure pressure.

  11. 17. : Thick walls and carry blood AWAY from the heart
  12. 18. : Point of maximum impulse of the heart when felt during examination
  13. 19. : The largest artery in the body,carries blood as the main branch down the center of the body
  14. 20. : Thinner walls and carry blood TOWARDS the heart
