CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM PRACTICE QUESTIONS Necrosis of a portion of the cardiac muscle caused by partial or complete occlusion of one or more coronary arteries is known as a: Irregular, random contractions of heart fibres that commonly occurs in the atria or ventricles of the heart are called: An atrioventricular block in which the atrial electrical impulses are delayed by a fraction of a second before being conducted to the ventricles is known as: A structure abnormality in which the bicuspid valve does not close completely, resulting in a backflow of blood into the left atrium with each contraction is known as: Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is the necrosis of a portion of cardiac muscle caused by partial or complete occlusion of one or more coronary arteries: Electrocardiograph (ECG) taken under controlled exercise conditions while measuring oxygen consumption is: This is the most common form of arteriosclerosis caused by accumulation of fatty substances within the arterial walls, resulting in partial, and then total blockage Surgery that opens a blocked artery by inflating a small balloon with a catheter to widen and restore blood flow in the artery is called: An inadequate supply of oxygenated blood to a body part due to an interruption of blood flow is called: An irregularity or loss of rhythm of heartbeat is called: A streptococcal infection that causes damage to the heart valves and heart muscle, most commonly found in children and young adults, is known as: A mass of undissolved matter such as blood clot, fatty plaque, or air bubble that travels through the bloodstream and becomes lodged in a blood vessel is called: A fusiform aneurysm is where the entire circumference of the artery dilates: A disease of the electrical system of the heart that controls the activity of the heart muscle is called:

Myocardial Infraction

Fibrillation

First-degree heart block

Mitral valve prolapse

False. This is myocardial infraction (heart attack) cerebrovascular accident is another term for stroke.

Stress Test

Atherosclerosis

Angioplasty

Ischemia Dysrhythmia

Rheumatic Heart Disease

Embolus

True

Heart Block

A device used to administer electrical shock to restore normal heart rhythm is: An atrioventricular block which no electrical impulses reach the ventricles is known as: A contraction of the heart is called a diastole. A soft blowing sound heard on auscultation that is caused by turbulent blood flow is called a murmur. The failure of the ducts arteriosus to close after birth, resulting in an abnormal opening between the pulmonary artery and the aorta is called: The diagnostic procedures used to create a graphic recording produced by the electrical activity generated by the heart muscle is known as: A soft blowing sound caused by turbulent blood flow heard on auscultation is called a: A sudden, severe vasoconstriction or spasm in the fingers and toes followed by cyanosis after exposure to cold temperature or emotional stress is:

Defibrillator Third-Degree heart block also called complete heart block False. Contraction is called systole; resting period is called diastole False. This is called a bruit; a murmur is abnormal sounds heard caused by defects in the valves or heart chambers Patent ducts arteriosus

Electrocardiography

Bruit

Reynaud disease...
