Across
- 1. A severe stage of PAD, characterized by severely reduced blood flow to the limbs
- 5. The artery that is located on both sides of the neck
- 6. Muscle located within the ventricles of the heart, attached to their walls
- 9. A type of blood vessel that is swollen & twisted, and appears under the skin, usually in the legs
- 11. The largest vein in the heart that is responsible for bringing deoxygenated blood to the heart; has two parts - inferior & superior
- 13. The valve that exists between the right atrium and the right ventricle
- 17. A blood pressure reading with a systolic pressure of 180 or higher and a diastolic pressure of 120 or higher
- 19. A condition where an individual's blood pressure is consistently too high
- 24. Fibrous cords that attach the papillary muscle to the valves of the heart, ensuring the ventricles stay upright
- 26. The artery that is located on both sides of the chest, just below the clavicles
- 29. Arteries that wrap around the outside of the heart and are responsible for supplying blood to the heart muscle
- 30. A blood pressure reading of 130-139/80-89 mmHg
- 33. The amount of blood the heart sends to the body with each heart beat
- 34. A blood pressure reading with a systolic pressure of 140 or higher, and a diastolic pressure of 90 or higher
Down
- 2. The main veins that are located along the medial sides of the forearm
- 3. The main veins that are located on both sides of the body, near the pelvis
- 4. The valve that exists between the left atrium and the left ventricle; also known as the bicuspid valve
- 7. The pressure of how hard the heart is pushing blood against the artery walls
- 8. The largest artery in the body that originates from the heart, ascends upwards, loops over, and descends into the lower half of the body
- 10. A condition where the heart beats faster than normal, usually over 100 BPM
- 12. A blood vessel that is responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood to the heart

- 22. The measure of how many liters the heart pumps in one minute
- 23. The number of times the heart beats in one minute while an individual is at rest
- 25. The muscle wall that separates the right ventricle and the left ventricle
- 27. The degree of how hard the heart is working to push blood throughout the body
- 28. A muscle-walled tube that is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood throughout the body
- 31. The main veins that are located on both sides of the neck
- 32. The two upper chambers of the heart
