  1. 2. Systemic inflammatory & autoimmune disease involving the joints & cardiac tissue.
  2. 4. Inflammation of the sac that encloses & protects the heart.
  3. 5. Right ventricular enlargement as a sequela to primary lung disease.
  4. 6. One or more of the cusps of the mitral valve protrude back into the left atrium during ventricular contraction; Called mitral valve _________.
  5. 9. Noninflammatory disease of cardiac muscle resulting in enlargement of myocardium & ventricular dysfunction.
  6. 11. Therapeutic procedure for coronary arteriosclerosis in which a balloon catheter is passed into the coronary artery & inflated to attempt to dilate artery; stent may be inserted to keep vessel patent. (Abbrev.)
  7. 12. A diagnostic test used to record the electrical activity of the heart.
  8. 14. Death of myocardial tissue caused by ischemia.
  9. 15. Mitral valve fails to close completely allowing blood from left ventricle to flow back into left atrium; Called mitral _____________.
  10. 17. Inflammation of the muscular walls of the heart.
  11. 19. Sudden, unexpected cessation of cardiac activity
  12. 20. Diagnostic test used to record intracardiac pressures & perform coronary angiograms (to detect presence of arteriosclerosis) through fluoroscopic visualization.

  1. 1. Condition of abnormally high blood pressure (most common type).
  2. 3. Inflammation of the lining & the valves of the heart. Characterized by growths on cardiac valves.
  3. 4. Accumulation of fluid in the lungs.
  4. 7. Collapse of cardiovascular system due to anaphylaxis, trauma, respiratory failure, etc. Life-threatening situation.
  5. 8. Hardening of cusps of the mitral valve preventing complete opening for passage of blood from left atrium into left ventricle.
  6. 9. Inability of heart to pump enough blood throughout the body.
  7. 10. Chest pain after exertion resulting from reduced oxygen supply to the myocardium.
  8. 13. Disease characterized by plaque in coronary arteries resulting in atherosclerosis & subsequent narrowing of arteries.
  9. 16. Therapeutic procedure used to treat occluded coronary arteries in which new anastomoses are created to bypass circulation around the obstructed areas. (Abbrev.)
  10. 18. Compression of heart muscle & restriction of heart movement caused by blood or fluid trapped in the pericardial sac; Called cardiac ____________.
