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 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)
  2. The act of listening to internal body sounds, typically using a stethoscope, to assess heart sounds.
    Auscultation
  3. The rhythmic expansion and contraction of arteries as blood is pumped through them, commonly assessed at various sites (e.g., radial, femoral).
    Pulses
  4. A faster than normal heart rate, generally more than 100 beats per minute.
    Tachycardia
  5. 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
  6. An abnormal sound during the heartbeat, often indicative of turbulent blood flow due to valve problems.
    Murmur
  7. 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
  8. Low blood pressure, often defined as a systolic pressure below 90 mmHg.
    Hypotension
  9. Abnormally swollen veins, often found in the legs, resulting from valve failure.
    Varicosities
  10. High blood pressure, defined as a persistent reading of 130/80 mmHg or higher.
    Hypertension
  11. A sensation of having a rapid or irregular heartbeat.
    Palpitations
  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. A slower than normal heart rate, typically fewer than 60 beats per minute.
    Bradycardia
  14. Swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body’s tissues, often evaluated in the extremities
    Edema
  15. A condition characterized by reduced blood flow to tissues, leading to a deficiency of oxygen and nutrients.
    Ischemia
  16. A non-invasive test that uses sound waves to measure blood flow in vessels.
    Doppler Ultrasound
  17. 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
  18. An ultrasound of the heart used to visualize heart structures and assess function.
