Matching
Embolism angina atherosclerosis diabetes
Heart attack thrombosis cholesterol saturated fat stroke
Physical activity blood pressure polyunsaturated fat
monounsaturated fat
1 Lack of blood to the heart leading to tissue death Heart attack
2 Lack of blood to part of the brain tissue death stroke
3 Buildup of fatty material in the arterial wall causing loss of
elasticity and narrowing of the vessel atherosclerosis
4 Clot or ruptured plaque obstructs blood flow leading to tissue death
thrombosis
5 Clot breaks free and travels to a smaller vessel, blocking off blood
flow and leading to tissue death embolism
6 Pain, pressure, tightness in the arms, back, and/or neck due to
decreased blood flow to the heart angina
7 Increases your risk for heart disease diabetes other possible
responses, too
8 Biggest dietary contributor to elevated LDL levels saturated fat
9 Increase this in order to raise your HDLs physical activity
10 The most important number for you to know blood pressure
