Cardiac Bingo - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. A sensation of having a rapid or irregular heartbeat.
    Palpitations
  2. An abnormal sound during the heartbeat, often indicative of turbulent blood flow due to valve problems.
    Murmur
  3. Commonly known as a heart attack, this occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, leading to tissue damage.
    Myocardial Infarction
  4. A faster than normal heart rate, generally more than 100 beats per minute.
    Tachycardia
  5. The formation of a blood clot within a blood vessel, potentially leading to blockage.
    Thrombosis
  6. A slower than normal heart rate, typically fewer than 60 beats per minute.
    Bradycardia
  7. High blood pressure, defined as a persistent reading of 130/80 mmHg or higher.
    Hypertension
  8. A circulatory condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, often causing pain or cramping.
    Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
  9. A non-invasive test that uses sound waves to measure blood flow in vessels.
    Doppler Ultrasound
  10. The rhythmic expansion and contraction of arteries as blood is pumped through them, commonly assessed at various sites (e.g., radial, femoral).
    Pulses
  11. Abnormally swollen veins, often found in the legs, resulting from valve failure.
    Varicosities
  12. A temporary loss of consciousness, often referred to as fainting, which can result from decreased blood flow to the brain, potentially linked to cardiovascular issues.
    Syncope
  13. Low blood pressure, often defined as a systolic pressure below 90 mmHg.
    Hypotension
  14. A test comparing the blood pressure in the ankle with the blood pressure in the arm to assess for peripheral artery disease.
    Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)
  15. The first and second heart sounds; associated with the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves, and associated with the closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves.
    S1 and S2
  16. Swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body’s tissues, often evaluated in the extremities
    Edema
  17. A condition characterized by reduced blood flow to tissues, leading to a deficiency of oxygen and nutrients.

  18. The act of listening to internal body sounds, typically using a stethoscope, to assess heart sounds.
    Auscultation
  19. Pain, cramping, or heaviness in the legs or buttocks during physical activity, often due to inadequate blood flow.
    Claudication
  20. The time it takes for color to return to an external capillary bed after pressure is applied; used to assess peripheral perfusion.
    Capillary Refill Time
  21. A condition where blood clots form in deep veins, usually in the legs, which can lead to serious complications if the clot dislodges.
