Stroke
100
Be quick when it comes to these 4 stroke signs
What is FAST?
Facial droop
Arm weakness
Speech
Time
100
Any ECG other than a NSR (normal sinus rhythm)
What is an arrhythmia?
100
Chest discomfort, SOB, pale, cool moist skin
What are signs of an cardiac distress?
100
When your breathing and heart stops you need 3 word procedure to rise from the dead
What is Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)?
100
Non-medical people know CVA as "stroke"
What is a cerebrovascular accident?
200
Temporary narrowing of coronary arteries, appearing to be a heart attack
What is angina?
200
Irregularly irregular tachycardia
What AFib/atrial fibrillation?
200
Part of the heart muscle experiences this terminal state following an MI
What is [tissue] death?
200
Plaque and cholesterol buildup in the coronary arteries
What is atherosclerosis?
200
Like a platelet, ischemic strokes cause this obstruction
What is a thrombus, clot or blockage?
300
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is commonly noticed in these appendages
What are extremities/legs?
300
Complete heart blockage, also a full-thickness burn
What is 3rd degree?
300
It's not right when CHF affects this side of the heart, resulting in SSx of cardiac distress
What is the left side?
300
During a heart attack, the heart is deprived of this vital element
What is O2 (oxygen)?
300
This elevated risk factor increases heart as well as stroke risk
What is hypertension/HTN?
400
PAD can lead to this decrease in O2 to tissue
What is is ischemia?
400
This deadly fibrillation may be the patient's last rhythm
What is VFib/ventricular fibrillation?
400
If a signal originates in the ventricles, the QRS will be wide or narrow
What is wide?
400
Cardiomyopathy describes this failure to move enough blood volume
What is pump failure?
400
Ischemic and Hemorrhagic
What are the two types of strokes?
500
This not so sweet comorbidity complicates coronary artery disease
What is diabetes?
500
Known as the "widow-maker," this deadly elevation has a low survival rate
What is a STEMI?
500
Right side pump failure is characterized by fluid buildup in tissue, caused by this side's pump failure
What is left side?
500
The AV node produces this bradycardic rate (BPM)
What is 40-60 bpm?
500
Ischemic and Hemorrhagic strokes are caused by these two problems
What is a clot or a bleed?
