  1. 4. Volume of blood pumped by the heart through the systemic circulation over a period measured in liters per minute
  2. 7. Positive inotrope used in the treatment and management of systolic heart failure; some patients can and will go home on a maintenance infusion
  3. 9. Most common form of heart disease resulting from plaque accumulation in the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the myocardium
  4. 11. Life-threatening complication of heart failure resulting in a state of severe hypoperfusion
  5. 12. Volume of blood pumped out of the heart's left ventricle during each systolic contraction
  6. 15. Broad term used to refer to a group of diseases that cause decreased blood flow to the heart (EX: STEMI, NSTEMI, unstable angina)
  7. 16. Vasodilator (oral, topical, or IV) used primarily to relieve anginal chest pain and/or hypertensive emergencies
  8. 19. Life-threatening condition that arises when the body’s response to an infection injures its tissues and organs
  9. 20. Combination of aspirin and one additional antiplatelet medication used in the prevention of stent reocclusion for post-PCI patients
  10. 22. Condition in which the heart muscle can’t pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs for blood and oxygen
  11. 23. Colloid that drives the interstitial fluid into the intravascular compartment and increases the effective volume of the circulatory system
  12. 24. Amount of tension or arterial pressure the ventricle has to overcome to eject blood (AKA: size of the pipes)
  13. 25. Oral vasodilator used to treat and manage hypertension in patients at risk for heart failure, stroke, and/or acute myocardial infarction (Hint: drug class)
  14. 26. Common phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE5-I) used in the treatment and management of erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension (Hint: patients taking this drug cannot have nitroglycerin)
  15. 27. Vasopressor commonly used as a second-line treatment of hypotension in sepsis patients (Hint: non-titratable in this patient population)
  16. 28. Condition that happens when an ascending urinary tract infection has spread from the bladder to the kidneys

  1. 1. Beta blocker (oral or IV) used in the prevention and treatment of hypertension, angina, heart failure, and dysrhythmias
  2. 2. Assessment finding where pain is elicited by tapping the area of the back overlying one or both kidneys
  3. 3. Condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of extravascular fluid in the lungs
  4. 5. Procedure done for evaluation and treatment of a wide array of cardiac conditions (EX: CAD, AMI, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, valvular disorders)
  5. 6. Ability of the myocardium to develop force for a given muscle length (AKA: how hard the pump squeezes)
  6. 8. Cardiac muscle length prior to contractility (AKA: end-diastolic volume or the amount of fluid in the pipes)
  7. 10. Ultrasound imaging test (can be transthoracic or transesophageal) used to evaluate myocardial structure and blood flow
  8. 13. Loop diuretic commonly used to treat conditions with volume overload and edema secondary to heart failure, liver failure, or renal failure
  9. 14. Condition characterized by elevated intrapulmonary pressures
  10. 17. Positive inotrope used in the treatment of acute heart failure exacerbation and/or cardiogenic shock
  11. 18. Vasopressor commonly used as a first-line treatment of hypotension in sepsis patients
  12. 21. Volume of blood that fills the heart by the end of the cardiac cycle
