Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acute coronary syndromes refer to a group of conditions that include unstable angina and heart attack (myocardial infarction) that occur as a result of plaque rupture in the coronary arteries.

Answer: B
 Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. It can be a symptom of coronary artery disease.

Answer: H
 Calcium channel blockers are medications that can help relax and widen blood vessels to improve blood flow. They are often used to treat conditions such as hypertension, angina, and arrhythmias.

Answer: J
 Cardiac tamponade occurs when fluid accumulates in the space around the heart (pericardial sac), putting pressure on the heart and impeding its ability to pump blood effectively.

Answer: K
 Claudication is pain, cramping, or weakness in the legs that occurs with exertion such as walking or climbing stairs. It is often a symptom of peripheral artery disease, which is caused by narrowing or blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the legs.
