Across
- 2. type of birth defect that allows blood from the left heart to reenter right heart
- 5. type of cardiomyopathy where heart muscle becomes thin and flabby
- 6. hearts pacemaker
- 8. tennis shoes in the dryer auscultation and an EKG with no P wave
- 9. cardiomyopathy where heart muscle thickens
- 13. heartbeat spontaneously generated from bundle of his independent of SA node
- 14. valve dysfunction commonly caused by chronic dental disease
- 15. outermost "layer" of heart
- 17. in left sided heart failure fluid accumulates here
- 19. heart muscles relax
- 20. some cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy present with this
- 21. free fluid may accumulate in the abodominal or pleural cavity due to this
Down
- 1. insuffucient blood volume and/or pressure to deliver oxygen to tissues
- 2. thickening of tissue below the aortic valve, common in large breed dogs
- 3. ventricular diastole seen on ekg
- 4. heart beat doesn't produce matching pulse wave
- 7. can cause sudden death, EKG looks like ghosts holding hands
- 10. inflammation of heart muscle
- 11. swishing sound heard from heart due to turbulent blood flow
- 12. birth defect that causes left heart volume overload due to recirculation of blood from the aorta into the lungs
- 16. a dietary deficiency of this can cause dilated cardiomyopathy in cats
- 18. type of arrhythmia normal in dogs and horses where heart rate increases during inhalation
- 22. if hypertrophic cardiomyopathy isn't hereditary in cats, it's commonly caused by this
