Answer: F
 Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that causes the heart to become enlarged, thickened, or stiff.

Answer: G
 Conduction disorder refers to an abnormality in the electrical conduction system of the heart, which can cause irregular heartbeats.

Answer: H
 Diagnostic cardiac catheterization is a medical procedure that involves inserting a catheter into a blood vessel in the groin or arm and threading it up to the heart to diagnose cardiac conditions.

The other options, transient ischemic attack (A), pericarditis (D), and endocarditis (E), do not match the given definition.

Question 14

In ICD-10-CM a subsequent acute MI is an MI that occurs within 28 days of the previous MI.
