Answer: cardiology

The physicians who treat problems of the cardiovascular systen include the cardiologist, the interventional cardiologist, and the cardiac surgeon. The vessels are treated by vascular surgeons, also called cardiovascular surgeons.

2. What is the outer membrane of the heart?

Answer: Pericardium

The pericardium is a fibrous tissue that is layered into a parietal pericardium (an outer layer lining the pericardium), and a visceral pericardium (an inner layer covering the heart).

3. How many chambers are in the human heart?

Answer: 4

The right and left atrium and the right and left ventricle.

4. Which of these blood vessels are the smallest?

Answer: Capillaries

The arteries carry blood away from the heart through the largest artery,the aorta, toward vessels that become progressively smaller, arterioles, and finally ending in capillaries, where nutrients and gases are exchanged.

5. What is the largest vein in the body?

Answer: Vena cava

The vena cavae are divided into the superior and inferior parts.

6. What is the other name for the bicuspid valve?

Answer: Mitral valve

The mitral or biscuspid valve is located between the left atrium and ventricle. It is also called the atrioventricular valve.

7. What is a type of turbulent flow of blood that can be heard in the neck?

Answer: Bruit

A gallop is a very rapid heart beat that sounds like a horse's gallop; a rub is friction heard as a grating sound from inflamed pericardial surface rubbing during the heart's contraction; a rumble is a low-pitched murmur.

8. What age group is the most likely to have a heart murmur?

Answer: Children and seniors

A heart murmur is an abnormal heart sound that represents turbulent blood flow within the heart.

9. What diagnostic method uses ultrasound to view the inside of the heart?

Answer: Echocardiography

10. Which of the following is a diuretic?

Answer: Lasix

A diuretic decreases fluid retention by promoting increased urinary output. Adalat is a calcium channel blocker, which inhibits calcium flow into muscle cells, leading to relaxed muscles. Zocor is a hyplipidemic, which decreases cholesterol levels in the blood. Sectral is a beta-blocker, which blocks certain receptors in the heart to decrease the heart rate.
