Normal blood pressure is...

The force of blood pushing against your arteries is...

Is the blood pressure in the picture normal?

The phase in the cardiac cycle in which the heart relaxes between contractions is known as

The systolic blood pressure represents the

True or False

Blood pressure is determined by:

the strength of contraction amount of blood pumped into the arteries the viscosity of the blood

the size and flexibility of the arteries.

_________________________ occurs when ventricles of the heart contract and blood is forced into the arteries, pressure increases

________________ occurs when the ventricles relax and pressure decreases

This disorder refers to abnormal heart rates and rhythms. The heart can beat too fast, too slowly, or with an irregular rhythm. When a heart beats too fast, the condition is called tachycardia. When a heart beats too slowly, the condition is called bradycardia.

This disorder involves the hardening and narrowing of the arteries. This disorder involves the buildup of fats, cholesterol, and other substances in and on your artery walls. This buildup is called plaque. The plaque can cause your arteries to narrow, blocking blood flow. The plaque can also burst, leading to a blood clot

The Lub- dub Sounds of the heart are created by the _______________________. (pick two answers)

The first heart sound occurs when the AV valves __________.

The second heart sound occurs when the _____________ valves close.

___________________ are abnormal sounds during your heartbeat cycle — such as whooshing or swishing — made by turbulent blood in or near your heart.

The rhythmic stretching and bulging of arteries by forcing blood through during each systole event is called your __________.

_______________ is when you have high blood pressure and your systolic pressure is regularly over 140

True or False

Four causes of high blood pressure include:

1.Diet high in Fats, salt, sugar plaque

2.Hereditary

3. Age

4.stress

_____________ is when you have low Blood Pressure (less than 90/60)

_____________________ is the scientific name for a Heart Attack. This occurs when blood flow to a part of your heart is blocked for a long enough time that part of the heart muscle is damaged or dies

A ______________(Cardiovascular Accident, CVA) occurs when you have an interruption to the vascular supply to the brain

________________occurs when your heart muscle (myocardium) does not get enough blood and oxygen. Not enough blood supply is called ischemia. This can be a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Usually caused by a sedentary lifestyle and an unhealthful diet. Some people can also be genetically at risk. People need this waxy molecule, but too much of it can form a thick layer on the inside of the vessels, blocking blood flow.

_______________ is a chronic disease needing lifelong management

occurs when the heart muscle doesn't pump blood as well as it should.

When this happens, blood often backs up and fluid can build up in the lungs, causing shortness of breath.
