VERIFIED.
What is stable angina? - ANS Exertional chest pain relieved by rest or nitro, caused by fixed
atherosclerotic plaque, with no troponin elevation.
What is unstable angina? - ANS Chest pain at rest with no troponin elevation, due to plaque
rupture and partial thrombosis.
What is NSTEMI? - ANS Myocardial ischemia with elevated troponin but no ST elevation,
indicating a subendocardial infarct.

, What is STEMI? - ANS ST elevation plus troponin elevation, indicating a transmural infarct
that requires urgent PCI.
