Question 1

Prevent clotting or coagulation of blood

Answer 1

anticoagulant

An anticoagulant, commonly known as a blood thinner, is a chemical subst

Question 2

Slow the heart rate and reduce the force with which the heart muscle contracts, lowering blood pressure

Answer 2

beta blockers

Question 3

Relieve chest pain associated with angina and ease symptoms of heart failure (HF)

Answer 3

nitrates

Question 4

Reduce cholesterol levels in blood and block production of an enzyme in the liver that produces cholesterol

Answer 4

statins

Question 5

Dissolve (lyse) blood clots in a process known as thrombolysis

Answer 5

thrombolytics

Question 6

a narrowing of the coronary arteries resulting in failure of the arteries to deliver an adequate supply of oxygenated blood to the heart muscle (myocardium).

Answer 6

coronary artery disease

Question 7

**The most common locations of cardiovascular aneurysms stem from a major artery from the heart (aortic aneurysm).
forms as a localized dilation (ballooning) of the abdominal aorta exceeding its normal diameter by greater than 50%. When an aneurysm reaches 5 cm in diameter, treatment is usually considered necessary to prevent rupture

Answer 7

abdominal aortic aneurysm

Question 8

the blood cells were getting together, hanging out, coagulating and they formed a big clot! The cops came to break it up, they are against coagulating and prefer when blood flows!

Answer 8

anticoagulants

Prevent clotting or coagulation of blood

Question 9

That heart is moving too fast, you betta block it before the pressure gets too high!

Answer 9

beta blockers
Slow the heart rate and reduce the force with which the heart muscle contracts, lowering blood pressure

Question 10

My Aunt Gina no longer complains now that she takes nitrates. You mean like in hotdogs, no, nitrates that help people with Angina and symptoms of heart failure!

Answer 10

nitrates
Relieve chest pain associated with angina and ease symptoms of heart failure

Question 11

does it state-in his chart that he has high cholesterol in his blood? if so we need to stop the enzyme in the liver that produces cholesteral by giving him a statin!

Answer 11

statins
Reduce cholesterol levels in blood and block production of an enzyme in the liver that produces cholesterol

Question 12

I see the throm-bus was repaired! Yes, the problem was dissolved and now traffic is flowing. We called thrombolytics, I didn’t realyse, they could dissolve the problem!

Answer 12

thrombolytics

Dissolve (lyse) blood clots in a process known as thrombolysis
