Diagnostics
100

I am the amount of ventricular stretch  at the end of diastole.

Preload?

100

I am the fluid filled sac that surrounds the heart

Pericardium

100

I am used when there is regurgitation of the mitral valve

Mitral valve replacement

100

Tricuspid valve

Right

100

Checks for clots while providing a detailed picture of the heart and its internal structures. 

TEE

200

You use me to lower a heart rate but I am not a procedure or medication. 

Valsalva maneuver

200

I am the two lower chambers of the heart

Ventricles

200

I am mostly used as a diagnostic tool. I am a catheter that is threaded through an artery or vein into the heart; often I can clear a blockage in this area. 

Cardiac catheterization

200

Mitral valve

Left

200

I test for the level of a protein found in the heart which only enters the bloodstream when there is heart damage. My partner and I are IT when it comes to diagnosing myocardial infarctions. 

Troponin I 
300

The volume of blood pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart during each systolic cardiac contraction. 

Stroke volume

300

I receive oxygenated blood from the lungs and pump it through the mitral valve to the left ventricle.

Left atrium

300

I am used to treatment of endocarditis and the prevention of valvular disease.

Antibiotics

300

Tachypnea

Left

300

I am a lab value. My levels go up when the heart cannot pump the way it should. The higher I am, the more likely there is heart failure. Some call me a pro.

BNP

400

I am chest pain at rest. With me you will see ST changes on your ECG. 

Variant angina

400

I separate the right atrium from the right ventricle.

Tricuspid valve

400

I am the pain reliever of choice during a myocardial infarction. 

Morphine

400

Edema

Right

400

I use sound waves to create pictures of the heart. I can diagnose heart failure. Hint: Ejection fraction.

Echocardiogram

500

I am caused by the closing of the mitral and tricuspid valves during ventricular contraction. 

S1, systole, lub

500

I receive unoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior vena cava.

Right atrium
500

I am given in order to prevent strain that may trigger arrhythmias or cardiac arrest. 

Stool softener

500

Fatigue

Left and right

500

I use radioactive material to show how well blood flows into the heart muscles. 

Nuclear stress test.
