Across 1. Loop diuretic (more potent than thiazides) causes rapid diuresis that results in decreased vascular fluid volume, CO, & BP 3. Angina that is new in onset, occurs at rest, or has a worsening pattern 5. In chronic HF, it is an increase in muscle mass & cardiac wall thickness in response to overwork and strain 6. Volume of blood in ventricle at end of diastole before next contraction 8. Disorder characterized by sudden attacks of respiratory distress that awakens person, usually during slee in reclinded position (abbreviation) 10. Apresoline/hydrazaline is an example; reduces peripheral resistance to improve CO 11. Diagnostic study, but not a reliable method of determining aneurysm diameter or length 12. A true aneurysm, it is circumferential and relatively uniform in shape 13. ACE IIs do not have this side effect 15. The most common etiology of aneurysms of the descending and abdominal aorta 16. These pulse sites should be marked with felt tip marker and documented before surgery 17. Extremely sensitive cardiac marker; shows in blood before CK-MB 18. Along with serum creatinine, this lab should be performed daily to evaluate renal function postop aneurysm repair 19. Intervention at diameter <5.5 cm is indicated in this population with AAAs 20. Peripheral resistance against which left ventricle must pump 21. Often asymptomatic and detected coincidentally when pt is examined for unrelated problem 23. Sign of pulmonary edema in left-sided HF 25. This class of meds may increase digoxin levels leading to toxicity 27. Wear gloves or use applicator when applying this antianginal ointment to avoid absorption of med into nurse's skin 28. Ability of heart to initiate impulses on its own w/o external stimulation 29. Amiodarone is an example of this class of med; may take weeks to years to suffer adverse effects of corneal microdeposits, photophobia, and ataxia 30. The most serious complication r/t untreated aneurysm

Down 2. Abnormal cardiac rhythms 4. This cardiac marker's subunit Tnl, has been found to be the most sensitive & specific for myocardial injury 7. Rupture of a dissected aorta typically results in ______________ and death. 9. Brief lapse in consciousness accompanied by loss in posteral tone 13. Used primarily in Tx of CHF; increases contractility and efficiency of myocardial contraction 14. Often misnamed "dissecting aneurysm", it is not a type of aneurysm, but rather the result of a tear in the intimal lining of the arterial wall. 16. Postop abdominal aortic surgery, this may develop as result of anesthesia and manipulation of bowel in surgery 18. Be alert for masking of hypoglycemia in DM or bronchoconstriction in COPD 22. Only CK isoenzyme r/t heart, but false positives do occur 24. Term used to describe pain of acute aortic dissection 26. First line Tx of MI
