  3. 7. failure (A chronic condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should.)
  4. 11. (the use of ultrasound waves to investigate the action of the heart.)
  5. 12. slow or unexcessive )
  6. 15. (the main artery of the body, supplying oxygenated blood to the circulatory system.)
  7. 16. (Capillaries are very tiny blood vessels — so small that a single red blood cell can barely fit through them.
  8. 18. disease (A swelling and irritation of the thin saclike membrane surrounding the heart)

  14. 23. At least five diseases that can affect the cardiovascular system
  15. 27. (any of the tubes forming part of the blood circulation system of the body, carrying in most cases oxygen-depleted blood toward the heart.)
