What is a typical cause of NSTEMI?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NSTEMI (non-ST elevation myocardial infarction) is typically caused by an incomplete occlusion of a coronary artery, which restricts blood flow to the heart muscle. This can lead to damage of the heart muscle and a reduction in cardiac function. Sudden, complete blockage due to thrombosis (choice B) typically causes an STEMI (ST elevation myocardial infarction) which is more severe than an NSTEMI. Chronic left ventricular failure (choice C) and bundle branch block (choice D) are not typically causes of NSTEMI.
