Cardiac Anatomy & Physiology
These are the smallest blood vessels that exchange gases with tissue.
What are capillaries?
This is what it's called when the heart stops suddenly.
What is cardiac arrrest?
This is considered normal blood pressure for an adult.
What is 120/80 mmHg?
Not getting enough of this can increase your chance of heart issues.
What is exercise?
This is the number you should call before you begin CPR.
What is 911?
This side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs to get oxygen
What is the right side?
What is a heart attack?
This is the healthier type of fat.
What is unsaturated fat?
This condition, also known as the silent killer, increases the risk of heart attack and stroke without obvious symptoms.
What is hypertension (high blood pressure)?
If someone's heart stops, you can help them by doing this.
What is CPR?
the chamber of the heart that receives oxygen poor blood from the body
What is the right atrium
People sometimes feel this fast or irregular heartbeat.
What is heart palpitations/arrhythmias?
This is the normal range of values for an adult's heart rate.
What is 60-100 beats/min?
The recommended number of minutes of moderate exercise per week to maintain heart health.
What is 150 minutes?
These are the two main things you do during CPR.
What are chest compressions and rescue breaths?
These are the blood vessels that carry blood to your heart muscles.
What are coronary arteries?
This medication is used to prevent blood clots.
What is baby aspirin/blood thinners?
These medications are used to block the effects of hormones on the heart. These meds help reduce the load on the heart and lower blood pressure as well as lower the risk of heart attack.
This condition occurs when the heart cannot pump blood effectively and leads to fluid buildup in the lungs or extremities.
What is congestive heart failure?
You should push down on the heast at this beat- like the song "Stayin' Alive".
What is 100 to 120 beats per minute?
This part of the heart tells it when to beat, like a pacemaker.
What is the SA node?
This disease is characterized by plaque build up in your arteries and often results in heart attack, stroke, or aneurysm if left untreated.
What is an atherosclerosis?
This type of cholesterol is considered "bad" and can contribute to arterial plaque buildup.
What is LDL cholesterol?
This increases blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
What is chronic stress?
You use this appendage on your hand to give an infant CPR when there are two or more rescuers.
What are your thumbs?
