Anatomy
This is the largest artery in the body, carrying oxygen-rich blood away from the heart.
Aorta
This condition affects how the body handles blood sugar and greatly increases the risk of heart disease
Diabetes
Regular physical activity strengthens this muscle, allowing it to pump blood more efficiently
The heart
This lung disease makes it difficult to breathe out and is most often linked to smoking
COPD
This medical device is commonly used to treat sleep apnea by keeping the airway open during sleep
CPAP
These are the two lower chambers of the heart responsible for pumping blood out of the heart.
Ventricles
This is the number one cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Smoking
Regular exercise helps reduce this major risk factor for heart disease by maintaining a healthy body weight
This condition occurs when blood vessels to the heart become narrowed or blocked
Heart disease
This common treatment helps open airways and make breathing easier for people with lung disease
Inhalers
These are the two upper chambers of the heart that receive blood entering the heart
Atria
Regularly eating too much of this type of food can raise blood pressure and cholesterol levels
Foods high in saturated fat and sodium
This heart-related measurement often improves with regular exercise, reducing strain on the heart
Blood pressure
This long-term lung condition causes wheezing, coughing, and trouble breathing
Asthma
This type of medication helps lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart
Blood pressure medications
This muscle sits beneath the lungs and plays a major role in breathing
Diaphragm
This condition causes the heart to work harder than normal and increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Hypertension
Exercise helps the body use this gas more efficiently
Oxygen
This heart-related event happens when blood flow to part of the heart is blocked
Heart attack
This device can be implanted to help regulate an abnormal heartbeat
Pacemaker
These tiny air sacs in the lungs allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to be exchanged
Alveoli
This condition places extra strain on the heart and is often linked to diabetes and high cholesterol
Obesity
Physical activity can help clear this from the lungs, reducing the risk of infection
Mucus
This heart condition causes an irregular or abnormal heartbeat
Arrhythmia
This emergency procedure is used to restore blood flow during a heart attack
Angioplasty or stent placement
