Question

question 35
cardiomyopathy is defined as:
enlargement of the heart
inflammation of the heart
condition of the heart valves
disease of the heart muscle
question 36
the suffix -emia means:
condition; state; thing.
condition of the blood; substance in the blood.
condition; abnormal condition.
small thing.

Explanation:

• For Question 35: Cardiomyopathy specifically refers to a disease of the heart muscle. Enlargement of the heart is cardiomegaly, inflammation of the heart is carditis, and the condition of heart valves is related to valvular heart diseases, not cardiomyopathy.
• For Question 36: The suffix -emia is derived from Greek and means a condition of the blood or a substance in the blood. For example, anemia (lack of red blood cells) and bacteremia (bacteria in the blood). The other options do not accurately define the suffix -emia.

Answer:

Question 35: disease of the heart muscle
Question 36: condition of the blood; substance in the blood.
