Q

A state in which not enough oxygen is delivered to the tissues of the body caused by lowly output of blood from the heart. It can be severe complication of a large, acute myocardial infarction, as well as other conditions.

Q

A disorder in which the heart loses part of its ability to effectively pump blood, usually as a result of damage to the heart muscle, and usually resulting in back up of fluid into the lungs

A

Cognitive heart failure CHF

19
Q

The blood vessels that carry blood and nutrients to the heart

A

Coronary arteries

20
Q

To shock a fibrillating, chaotically, shaking heart with specialize electric current in an attempt to restore a normal rhythmic beat

A

Defibrillate

21
Q

Swelling in the part of the body, closest to the ground, caused by collection of fluid in the tissues, a possible sign of cognitive heart failure

A

Dependent edema

22
Q

Winding of a tubular structures, such as a coronary artery

A

Dilation

23
Q

A condition in which the inner layers of an artery, such as the aorta become separated, allowing blood at high pressures to flow between layers

A

Dissecting aneurysm

24
Q

An irregular or abnormal heart rhythm

A

Dysrhythmia

25
Q

An emergency situation created by excessively high blood pressure which can lead to serious complications, such as a stroke or aneurysm

A

Hypertensive emergency

26
Q

Death of a body tissue usually caused by interruption of its blood supply

A

Infarction

27
Q

Below a body part, or near to the feet

A

Inferior

28
Q

A lack of oxygen deprived tissues of necessary, nutrients resulting from partial or complete blockage of blood flow potentially reversible, because permanent injury has not yet occurred

A

Ischemia

29
Q

The inside diameter of an artery, or other hollow structure

A

Lumen

30
Q

The heart muscle

A

Myocardium

31
Q

A blockage usually of a tubular structure, such as blood vessel

A

Occlusion

32
Q

The part of the heart atomic nervous system, that controls vegetative functions, such as digestion of food and relaxation

A

Parasympathetic nervous system

33
Q

The circulation of oxygenated blood within an organ or tissue in adequate amounts to meet the cells current needs

A

Perfusion

34
Q

The back surface of the body decide away from you in standard anatomic position

A

Posterior

35
Q

The return of a pulse and effective blood flow to the body in a patient who previously was in cardiac arrest

A

Return of spontaneous circulation ROSC

36
Q

The volume of blood ejected with each ventricular contraction

A

Stroke, volume

37
Q

Above a body part, or near to the head

A

Superior

38
Q

The part of the anatomic nervous system, that controls active functions, such as responded to fear, also known as the fight or flight system

A

Sympathetic nervous system

39
Q

A fainting spell, or transient loss of consciousness

A

Syncope

40
Q

A rapid heart rate, more than 100 beats a minute

A

Tachycardia

41
Q

A blood clot that formed within blood vessels, and it’s floating within the bloodstream

A

Thromboembolism

42
Q

One of the two lower chambers of the heart

A

Ventricle

43
Q

Disorganized and ineffective quivering, the ventricles resulting in no blood flow in the state of cardiac arrest

A

Ventricular fibrillation

44
Q

A rapid heart rhythm in which the electrical impulse begins in a ventricle instead of the atria, which may result in an adequate blood flow, and eventually deteriorate into cardiac arrest

A

Ventricular tachycardia
