Across
- 3. using electrical current to reset electrical conduction system of heart by redirecting normal electrical current back to the SA node to get it back on track
- 5. resting phase, when electrical charge returns to normal
- 11. increased potassium level
- 13. resistance to blood flow in the body
- 14. systolic BP > 150mmHg &/or diastolic BP >90mmHg
- 15. break down clots
Down
- 1. ability to generate electrical impulse at a regular rate from cell to cell to trigger a contraction
- 2. heart attack
- 4. process of controlling bleeding
- 6. blood clot
- 7. loss of an electrical charge that causes muscles to contract
- 8. clumping of platelets
- 9. blood clot that moves through blood vessels until it reaches a vessel too small for it to pass through
- 10. fatty deposits that line the inside of blood vessels
- 12. severe nosebleed
