This valve separates the right atria from the right ventricle.
What is the bicuspid valve?
100
This is considered to be the heart's natural pacemaker.
What is the SA (Sinoatrial) Node?
100
This is used to measure the electrical conductivity of the heart.
What is an EKG?
100
This type of cholesterol builds up in arteries to cause atherosclerosis.
What is LDL?
100
This procedure uses dye to allow doctors to "see" inside the heart's coronary arteries to find a blockage.
What is an Angiogram?
200
This chamber of the heart is the "strongest" because it must pump the blood to the rest of the body.
What is the left ventricle.
200
After the SA node, the electrical signal travels to this part of the heart.
What is the AV Node?
200
This is a measure of the pressure of the inside of the arteries.
What is blood pressure?
200
This is a sudden loss of consciousness caused by a blood clot to the brain.
What is a stroke?
200
This procedure uses sound to "see" the heart in action to look for any abnormalities such as a valve issue.
What is an Echocardiogram?
300
The blood flows from the right ventricle to this next organ.
What is the lungs?
300
This wave represents repolarization of the ventricles.
What is the t-wave?
300
This is the measure of the pressure of blood on the arteries as the heart is contracting.
What is Systolic Blood Pressure?
300
A Cardiologist may place this if someone is having trouble regulating the SA Node.
What is a pacemaker?
300
This procedure is pair with an Angiogram to help open up a blocked coronary artery using a balloon-like device.
What is an Angioplasty?
400
The blood comes back into the heart from the lungs via this entrance to the heart.
What are the pulmonary veins?
400
After leaving the AV node, electrical charges travel to this part of the heart.
What are the Purkinje Fibers?
400
This reading is considered to be the average/normal reading of blood pressure for teenagers.
What is 120/70?
400
A Cardiologist may place this if a coronary artery is narrowing/clogged to keep it open permanently.
What is a stent?
400
Anna Garcia was prescribed this type of drug that opens up (dilates) arteries and veins to help with high blood pressure.
What is an ACE Inhibitor?
500
Blood can enter the heart (into the right atria) via these two vessels.
What are the Superior and Inferior Vena Cava?
500
The QRS Complex triggers this event in the heart.
What are ventricular contractions?
500
When determining heart risk factors, doctors will take Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL and this other test.
What is triglycerides?
500
This is the official term for a heart attack.
What is a myocardial infarction?
500
This procedure involves using veins/arteries from the leg to go around a clogged artery in the heart.
What is a coronary artery bypass graft?
