CAP 100 CAD EXAM LATEST UPDATED
Angina pectoris is chest pain caused by myocardial ischaemia.
ischaemia is characterised by decreased blood flow to the myocardium.
ischaemia is a transient condition caused by an imbalance in myocardial oxygen
supply and demand.
Stable angina is usually caused by physical exertion, although it can also be caused
by stress.
Stable angina is characterised by substernal, usually non-radiating discomfort
lasting 5-15 minutes after relief from the beginning trigger, such as a certain
physical or psychological stressor.
YES - ANSWER: Can stable angina be completely resolved with treatment?
Angina caused by emotional stress is more difficult to cure because tension cannot
be relieved as readily as exercise.
Unstable angina arises amid physical activity or psychological stress.
What are the main distinctions between stable and unstable angina in terms of pain
frequency, duration, and intensity?
ANSWER: Unstable Angina In ___________, the episodes are more frequent, the
duration of each incident is usually more than 15 minutes, and the intensity of the
pain may be more severe.
, ANSWER: Unstable angina is usually a symptom of the development of CAD.
UNSTABLE ANGINA
- if present: higher risk of MI.
- less receptive to treatment (answer notes)
variant angina - ANSWER occurs while the subject is at rest, frequently during
waking and at the same time.
Exercising does not affect variant angina. - ANSWER: Can effort increase the
symptoms of variant angina?
variant angina - ANSWER Rest and sublingual nitrates may improve this type of
angina.
Variant angina - ANSWER dysrhythmias are more likely in people who have
______________
Variant angina is characterised by a mix of stenosis and coronary artery spasm and
can be effectively treated with calcium channel blockers.
Injury - ANSWER is utilised because myocardial tissue is intensely harmed after a
sudden heart attack.
Injury - ANSWER indicates the presence of a new MI.
