    Enlarge pulmonary trunk
  6. Which of the following is an abnormal vascular connection between the pulmonary artery and aorta
    patent ductus arteriosus
  7. All left to right shunts can be complicated by the developement of
    Pulmonary hypertension

    Death of myocardial cells
  17. Death of myocardial cells caused by a lack of blood supply is known as
    Myocardial infarction
  18. The inability of the heart to propel blood at a rate and volume sufficient to provide an adequte supple to the tissues is called
    Congestive heart failure
  19. What are the causes of congestive heart failure
    • Hypertension
    • Impaired heart contractions
    • Increased peripheral resistance to blood flow

    An area of an artery in which the walls are dilated
  25. A localized dilation of an artery is termed
    Aneurysm
  26. When an artery is dilated or bulging on only one side of the arterial wall it is termed
    Saccular aneurysm
  27. When the entire circumference of the vessel wall is bulging it is called a
    Fusiform aneurysm
