Heart Diseases + Treatment
Another (more fancy) word for heart failure.
What is Congestive Heart Failure?
Locate the right and left atrium (if you mix-match the left and the right... your opponent can steal it AND get the points... hahaha).
Belle will tell you if it's right or not.
How many times does the heart beat per day?
100,000 times. Crazy.
Pretend you are in a scenario of having Congestive Heart Failure (and LIST what symptoms you are having and WHAT you need to do to treat yourself or you will literally die).
Symptoms: shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling of legs and abdomen, palpitations, and hacking cough
Treatments (any or all of this is fine):
Diet, exercise, and fluid management
Medications such as Ace- inhibitors and beta blockers to control blood pressure, diuretics to prevent water retention
Angioplasty to remove blockage, valve repair or replacement, pacemaker implant, cardiac bypass surgery and cardiac transplant
Locate the chordae tendineae.
Did you know that's where the joke "you're pulling on my heartstrings comes from?" LOL Belle will tell you if you're right.
What did the drum say to the drumstick?
My heart beats for you! Hahahahahahahaahahaha.
This heart disease has no symptoms. Or, symptoms may include a fluttering in the chest, chest pain, fainting, or dizziness.
What is Cardiac Arrhythmia?
Locate the right and left pulmonary veins. (If you mix-match the two you DO NOT get the points... hahaha).
Belle will tell you.
YOU NEED PAPER FOR THIS...
Draw a picture of a cardiac getting arrested.
Whoever drew it first wins no matter how ugly it is <3 Literally, you should have drawn a heart with handcuffs or gone to jail. That was it.
What is hypertension defined as (includes TWO blood pressure levels that indicate hypertension, but say both for points)? If not exact, ZERO points. (Mwahahahahahahahaha).
Defined as blood pressure above 140/90, and is considered severe if the pressure is above 180/120.
Locate ANY anatomical structure within the heart you know of and EXPLAIN its function (whoever points at something first has FIVE seconds to answer before the second person can get a chance).
Belle will tell you.
Make your own heart joke, CAN'T BE FROM OUR SLIDESHOW (you have fifteen seconds).
Extra points if it was actually funny. But it probably wasn't </3
