Across
- 2. - --- glyceryl trinitrate reduces preload and afterload and may help keep coronary muscles open.
- 6. - Primary PCI --- angioplasty with/out stents is done to open the infarct-related artery during an acute MI with ST-segment elevation. Decreases stroke and bleeding risk.
- 7. - Myocardial --- means that the blood supply is entirely cut off and the cell death occurs after time without oxygenated blood.
- 9. - A recombinant plasminogen activator that binds to the fibrin component of the thrombus and converts thrombus-bound plasminogen to plasmin, which degrades the fibrin matrix of the thrombus (clot).
- 11. - A powerful antiplatelet drug, with a rapid effect, which reduces mortality by 20%.
- 12. - Myocardial --- means reduced blood supply, but there is still some.
- 14. - Coronary artery bypass ---, or CABG, is the preferred revascularisation method in patients with diabetes.
- 15. - Rapid and irregular atrial contractions.
- 16. - Non-modifiable aetiology for acute coronary syndrome includes age, heredity, and ---.
Down
- 1. - Chest pain is commonly described as --- during an MI.
- 3. - The nervous system responsible to increasing heart rate.
- 4. - Sweating associated with myocardial infarction.
- 5. - Period of the cardiac cycle when the myocardium is relaxing.
- 8. - Heart rate less than 60bpm for an adult.
- 10. - Heart rate more than 100bpm for an adult.
- 13. - To restore myocardial oxygen supply and demand during AMI.
