Front 1

arterioscelerosis

Back 1

the numerous conditions in which the walls of the arteries become thickened, hard and less elastic.

Front 2

atheroscierosis

Back 2

The process of narrowing the arteries in general.

Front 3

blood lipids

Back 3

primary risk factor

Front 4

congential heart disease

Back 4

includes any heart defects that are present at birth, which are also appropriately.

Front 5

coronary heart disease

Back 5

The narrowing of the arteries involving coronary arteries.

Front 6

endothellum

Back 6

the innermost layer of the intima.

Front 7

fatty streaks

Back 7

lipid deposits which are thought to be the prescurors of atherosclerosis commonly are found in the aortas of children by the age of 3 to 5.

Front 8

heart failure

Back 8

a chronic and progressive clinical condition in which the heart muscle (myocardium) becomes too weak to maintain an adequate cardiac output to meet the body's blood and oxygen demands.

Front 9

hemorrhagic stroke

Back 9

Intracerebral hemorrhage in which one of the cerebral arteries ruptures in the brain. Subarachnoid hemorrhage in which one of the brain's surface vessels ruptures dumping blood into the space between the brain and the skull.

Front 10

hypertension

Back 10

medical term for high blood pressure

Front 11

ischemia

Back 11

when the artery suffers from a deficiency of blood.

Front 12

ischemic stroke

Back 12

most common type of stroke 87% of all cases and result from an obstruction within a cerebral blood vessel that limits the flow of blood to that region of the brain.

Front 13

lipoprteins

Back 13

the proteins that carry the blood lipids.

Front 14

metabolic syndrome

Back 14

term that has been used to link CHD hypertenstion abnormal blood lipids type 2 diabetes and abnormal obesity to insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. AKA syndrom Xand the insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia.

Front 15

myocardial infarction

Back 15

when blood supply to a part of the myocardium is severely or totally restricted, ischemia can lead to a heart attack.

Front 16

pathophysiology

Back 16

refers to the pathology and physiology of a specific disease process or disordered function.

Front 17

peripheral vascular disease

Back 17

involve the systemic of arteries and veins

Front 18

plaque

Back 18

fatty and narrows inner wall of the artery.

Front 19

platelet-derived growth factor

Back 19

substance released by the platelets that promotes migration of smooth muscle cells from the media into the intima.

Front 20

primary risk factors

Back 20

tobacco smoke, hypertension, abnormal blood lipids and lipoproteins, physical inactivity, obesity and overweight, diabetes and insulin resistance.

Front 21

rheumatic heart disease

Back 21

one form of valvular heart disease involving a streptococcal infection that has caused acute rheumatic fever, typically in children between ages 5 and 15.

Front 22

stroke

Back 22

form of cardiovascular disease that affects the cerebral arteries those that supply the brain.

Front 23

valvular heart disease

Back 23

involve one or more of the four valves that control the direction of blood flow into and out of the four heart chambers.
