Across
- 2. Volume of blood pumped per minute by the heart
- 4. Mechanical device that temporarily replaces heart function; used as a bridge to transplant
- 8. Condition when the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs
- 12. Right heart valve open during diastole
- 14. The resistance the left ventricle must overcome to eject blood
- 16. ECG change indicating myocardial ischemia
- 17. Device used to augment coronary perfusion and decreased afterload; inflates during diastole

Down
- 1. Surgical creation of new blood flow around blocked arteries
- 2. Product given for low fibrinogen level
- 3. Measure of pressure in the right atrium reflecting preload
- 5. When coronary arteries are perfused
- 6. Post-op cardiac rhythm that requires temporary pacing
- 7. Post-op complication marked by muffled heart tones, hypotension, JVD, narrow pulse pressure
- 9. Enhanced recovery after surgery
- 10. Common site for arterial line placement
