Question 1 of 10
1. You want to get up and dance when you hear snippets from this 1986 pop tune:
"Open your heart to me, baby
I'll hold the lock and you hold the key."
Someone better tell Madonna that the human heart is not a puzzle. If you really opened your heart what would you find?
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. You're pouting in front of the mirror doing your best Quarterflash impression with a few lyrics from their 1981 hit:
"I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears."
But the doctor in you thinks hmm, that does not sound good. What general term for heart disease would you be concerned with if your heart walls (not arteries) actually hardened?
Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. You want to get out your roller skates and hit the roller rink when you hear lyrics from this 1979 song by Blondie:
"Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out, had heart of glass."
Ooh, metaphor or not, having a heart of glass sounds awfully stoic. Then it reminds you of the first permanent artificial heart created in 1982, the Jarvik 7. What was this heart made from?
Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Now you are starting to get a whiff of cheese while listening to lyrics from Bonnie Tyler's version of this 1979 song:
"It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down."
You hope that sad song doesn't really give you chest pain. What is the medical term for chest pain?
Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Still stuck in your disco time warp, this time in 1982, a fine year for cheese, you suddenly belt out these lyrics:
"If you only knew what you're putting me through
It feels like a heart attack
You're giving me a heart attack
Heart attack!"
I guess disco songs and medical terms don't go together very well. What would Olivia Newton-John be singing about if she used the correct medical terminology for a heart attack?
Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Now you're getting into some tough cheese! You really like to wail these lyrics from 1979:
"You're a heartbreaker, dream maker,
Love taker, don't you mess around with me."
Pat Benatar was trying to avoid getting her heart broken. Scientists discovered that emotional shock can actually trigger reversible heart failure that mimics a heart attack. What is it called?
Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. You never get tired of cheese! This 1989 pop hit has you swaying to the music with these lyrics:
"Listen to your heart when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do."
You ARE listening to your heart, but it sounds rather turbulent like there's some extra whooshing going on. What is most likely your problem?
Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Whew, the fumes from this cheesy song make your eyes water! Still, you smile when you hear these lyrics from 1971:
"And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?"
Well, you tell the Bee Gees it's easy to mend a broken heart! You just undergo what type of heart surgery for blocked coronary arteries?
Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. You can't help but dance over to the cheese buffet with lyrics from this 1990 song:
"Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah-ah."
Lady Miss Kier from the group Deee-Lite was right, the groove really is in the heart. Also known as the pacemaker of the heart, what is responsible for generating the sinus rhythm of the heart?
Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. This has got to be the Limburger of all cheesy pop tunes when you listen to the chorus of this 1986 song:
"Heartbeat, I'm looking for a heartbeat
Heartbeat, I'm looking for a heartbeat."
Oh no! Don't tell me actor/singer Don Johnson's lover just flatlined! What is the medical term for lacking a heartbeat?
Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You want to get up and dance when you hear snippets from this 1986 pop tune: "Open your heart to me, baby I'll hold the lock and you hold the key." Someone better tell Madonna that the human heart is not a puzzle. If you really opened your heart what would you find?

Answer: Chambers and valves

Song: "Open Your Heart" by Madonna The human heart weighs between 200 and 400 grams and beats an average 100,000 times a day. The heart is comprised of four chambers. The upper chambers are called the left and right atria, and the lower chambers are called the left and right ventricles.

A thick muscular wall, called the septum, divides the left and right sides of the heart. The heart also contains four valves. The tricuspid valve regulates blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle.

The pulmonary valve controls blood flow from the right ventricle into the pulmonary arteries. The mitral valve lets blood from the lungs pass from the left atrium into the left ventricle. The aortic valve allows the oxygen-rich blood to pass from the left ventricle into the aorta where it is sent to the rest of the body.
2. You're pouting in front of the mirror doing your best Quarterflash impression with a few lyrics from their 1981 hit: "I'm gonna harden my heart I'm gonna swallow my tears." But the doctor in you thinks hmm, that does not sound good. What general term for heart disease would you be concerned with if your heart walls (not arteries) actually hardened?

Answer: Cardiomyopathy

Song: "Harden My Heart" by Quarterflash
Cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of the heart muscle that damage it and cause it to enlarge. The heart walls may become thicker, more rigid, or weaker than normal. The three most common types of cardiomyopathy are:

Dilated cardiomyopathy - the heart cavity is stretched and weakened and cannot pump blood efficiently.
Restricted cardiomyopathy - the heart muscle of the ventricles becomes rigid and makes it difficult for the ventricles to fill with blood.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - the muscle mass of the left ventricle thickens. This makes it difficult for the blood to leave the heart, and forces it to work much harder.
3. You want to get out your roller skates and hit the roller rink when you hear lyrics from this 1979 song by Blondie: "Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out, had heart of glass." Ooh, metaphor or not, having a heart of glass sounds awfully stoic. Then it reminds you of the first permanent artificial heart created in 1982, the Jarvik 7. What was this heart made from?

Answer: Dacron polyester, plastic and aluminum

Song: "Heart of Glass" by Blondie The first permanent artificial heart was invented by Dr. Robert Koffler Jarvik, and implanted into Barney Clark in 1982. Clark volunteered to undergo the revolutionary procedure because he wanted to make a contribution to medical science.

He exceeded expectations and lived for 112 days with the Jarvik 7. The second patient to receive the implant survived, despite some complications, for 620 days. After the first five implants, the Jarvik 7 began use as a bridge to patients awaiting heart transplants. Various types of artificial hearts have been designed and implemented since 1982, including a modernized version of the Jarvik 7.
4. Now you are starting to get a whiff of cheese while listening to lyrics from Bonnie Tyler's version of this 1979 song: "It's a heartache Nothing but a heartache Hits you when it's too late Hits you when you're down." You hope that sad song doesn't really give you chest pain. What is the medical term for chest pain?

Answer: Angina

Song: "It's a Heartache" by Bonnie Tyler (original version by Juice Newton)
Angina is the most common symptom of coronary artery disease. It is chest pain caused by a lack of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. To continue pumping blood to the body, the heart compensates by using stored energy. The by-product of this less efficient fuel is lactic acid which builds up in the heart and causes pain. Angina is usually felt in the chest, but may also be felt in the shoulders, arms, neck, throat, jaw, or back.
5. Still stuck in your disco time warp, this time in 1982, a fine year for cheese, you suddenly belt out these lyrics: "If you only knew what you're putting me through It feels like a heart attack You're giving me a heart attack Heart attack!" I guess disco songs and medical terms don't go together very well. What would Olivia Newton-John be singing about if she used the correct medical terminology for a heart attack?

Answer: Myocardial infarction

Song: "Heart Attack" by Olivia Newton-John
A myocardial infarction, or MI, occurs when a blood vessel feeding the heart becomes blocked and prevents an adequate supply of oxygen to the heart. Part of the muscle dies or is permanently damaged. While some myocardial infarctions are silent, typical symptoms include sudden chest pain, nausea, sweating, shortness of breath and anxiety. It is a serious medical problem that requires immediate attention.
6. Now you're getting into some tough cheese! You really like to wail these lyrics from 1979: "You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, Love taker, don't you mess around with me." Pat Benatar was trying to avoid getting her heart broken. Scientists discovered that emotional shock can actually trigger reversible heart failure that mimics a heart attack. What is it called?

Answer: Broken Heart Syndrome

Song: "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar Broken heart syndrome, also known as stress cardiomyopathy, is a temporary condition of the heart brought on by extreme stress, such as the death of a loved one. It is sometimes misdiagnosed as a heart attack when, in fact, it is the heart responding to a days-long surge in adrenalin and other hormones.

These hormones, their breakdown products, and other small bits of protein are temporarily toxic to the heart. Basically the muscle gets stunned and produces symptoms similar to a heart attack -- chest pain, shortness of breath and heart failure.

The good news is that the symptoms are temporary, there is no permanent damage to the heart, and recovery takes about a week.
7. You never get tired of cheese! This 1989 pop hit has you swaying to the music with these lyrics: "Listen to your heart when he's calling for you. Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do." You ARE listening to your heart, but it sounds rather turbulent like there's some extra whooshing going on. What is most likely your problem?

Answer: Heart murmur

Song: "Listen to Your Heart" by Roxette
A heart murmur is a sound the heart makes in addition to its usual "lub-dub" sound. This extra sound can be heard with a stethoscope as a whoosh, hum or rasp. There are two types of heart murmurs, innocent and abnormal. Innocent heart murmurs occur in normal hearts and are nothing to be concerned with. When found in children they often disappear as they grow older. Abnormal heart murmurs indicate symptoms of congenital heart disease or valve problems.
8. Whew, the fumes from this cheesy song make your eyes water! Still, you smile when you hear these lyrics from 1971: "And how can you mend a broken heart? How can you stop the rain from falling down?" Well, you tell the Bee Gees it's easy to mend a broken heart! You just undergo what type of heart surgery for blocked coronary arteries?

Answer: Coronary artery bypass graft

Song: "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" by the Bee Gees Coronary artery bypass surgery (aka GABG) reroutes blood around clogged arteries to increase blood flow and oxygen to the heart. This is done when arteries leading to the heart become partially or completely blocked with plaque, leading to chest pain or a heart attack.

A piece of vein or artery from elsewhere in the body is grafted to the coronary artery to bypass the area that is narrowed. One or more bypasses may be done during surgery. Two different techniques are used in the surgery, one with a heart-lung machine (pump oxygenator) and, more recently, one without a pump oxygenator where the heart is kept beating.
9. You can't help but dance over to the cheese buffet with lyrics from this 1990 song: "Groove is in the heart Ah-ah-ah-ah Groove is in the heart Ah-ah-ah-ah." Lady Miss Kier from the group Deee-Lite was right, the groove really is in the heart. Also known as the pacemaker of the heart, what is responsible for generating the sinus rhythm of the heart?

Answer: Sinoatrial node

Song: "Groove is in the Heart" by Deee-Lite
The sinoatrial node, or sinus node, is a specialized cluster of nerve cells located in the upper part of the right atrium of the heart. Known as the body's natural pacemaker, it produces electrical impulses at regular intervals and controls the heart rate. A healthy resting heart will beat about 60-70 times per minute.
10. This has got to be the Limburger of all cheesy pop tunes when you listen to the chorus of this 1986 song: "Heartbeat, I'm looking for a heartbeat Heartbeat, I'm looking for a heartbeat." Oh no! Don't tell me actor/singer Don Johnson's lover just flatlined! What is the medical term for lacking a heartbeat?

Answer: Asystole

Song: "Heartbeat" by Don Johnson
Asystole is the absence of a heartbeat where the heart is at a complete standstill. There is no cardiac output or electrical activity. Resuscitation is likely only if the cause for asystole is secondary to an event that can be corrected immediately (such as unblocking an airway where the patient can be rapidly reoxygenated). After several seconds of true asystole the patient will be unconscious and unresponsive. It eventually occurs in all dying patients.
There is good news for Don Johnson. He was "looking for a heartbeat, beating like mine." No one was actually asystole.
