This upper-right chamber receives blood returning from the body
What is right atrium?

Arteries are important but selfish. They don't give blood to the heart, they instead they do this.
What is [transport] blood away [from the heart]?

These large upper & lower veins returns blood to the right atrium.
What are superior and inferior vena cavas?
100

What is the aorta?
100
Nearly all cardiac complications involve atherosclerosis, occlusion of arteries from any of these dangerous deposits
What are fats, cholesterol, calcium or plaque.
200
This lower-right chamber pumps blood toward the lungs
What is right ventricle?
200
Veins have trouble with heartbreak, so they always do this
What is return blood to the heart?
200

What is the pulmonary trunk?
200

What is the myocardium?
200
When a heart stops, this crucial procedure needs to commence within seconds to bring the patient back
What is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR?
300
This upper-left chamber receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
What is left atrium?
300
These two valves are the atrial valves and entry into the heart
What are tricuspid and mitral?
300
These vessels return oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
What are the pulmonary veins?
300
Like the septum in our nose, the interventricular septum serves this divisive purpose
What is divides the chambers?
300
Temporary narrowing of the coronary arteries causes chest pain and could be this cardiac condition
What is angina?
400
This lower-left chamber pumps blood to the brain and the rest of the body
What is the left chamber?
400
These two valves are the ventricle valves and are the exit of the heart
What are pulmonic and aortic?
400
Crowned to supply the heart with O2, these arteries sit at the anterior myocardium
What are the coronary arteries?
400
This structure "surrounds" and protects the heart and the roots of the major blood vessels
What is the pericardial sac?
400
A heart attack is dead tissue from lack of O2 aka MI which means this
What is a myocardial infarction?
1000
This ventricle has the strongest pumping muscle since it supplies the brain and body
What is the left ventricle?
1000
Trained Paramedics Monitor Airways to name these heart valves
What are tricuspid, pulmonic, mitral and aortic?
