Across
- 2. The volume of blood pumped from the ventricle per beat
- 4. The amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute
- 6. The percentage of blood pumped out of the left ventricle with each contraction
- 7. Produced by the heart ventricles in response to ventricular volume expansion and pressure overload.
- 9. Medication used in heart failure to reduce fluid overload
- 12. The resistance to ejection of blood from left ventricle, the load the muscle must move after it contracts
- 13. Type of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and involves backward failure of the ventricle and stiffness of the heart
Down
- 1. Diagnostic test used for heart failure that measures ejection fraction
- 3. Type of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and failure of the pump
- 4. The force with which the heart muscle contracts during each beat
- 5. Drug class that decreased afterload
- 8. The volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole
- 10. A sign of heart failure; elevated neck veins
- 11. Extra heart sound (S3 or S4) often heard in patients with heart failure
