Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angina pectoris is characterized by chest pain or discomfort that is often triggered by physical or emotional stress and is relieved by rest or nitroglycerin. Myocardial infarction involves more prolonged and severe chest pain and may not be relieved by nitroglycerin alone. Ischemia refers to insufficient blood flow to the heart, which can cause angina, but it is not a specific cardiovascular disease. Cardiac arrhythmia refers to abnormal heart rhythms, which can cause a variety of symptoms but are not typically treated with nitroglycerin.
