What is the expected electrocardiogram pattern for a person when a thrombus in a coronary
artery lodges permanently in the vessel and the infarction extends through the myocardium
from the endocardium to the epicardium?
a. Prolonged QT interval
b. ST elevation (STEMI)
c. ST depression (STDMI)
d. Non-ST elevation (non-STEMI)
b. ST elevation (STEMI)
Mr. L. is a 53 year old hypertensive patient, who was brought to ER at 10:30 pm with severe,
crushing chest pain that started 3 hours ago. On admission, he was agitated, sweating, and he
vomited once. His heart rate was 110 / min, and his blood pressure was 90/60 mmHg.
12-lead ECG showed ST elevation in anterior chest leads.
What needs to be estimated to determine whether an MI has occurred?
a. The appearance of a pathological Q wave in the anterior chest leads
b. Troponin I & T levels
c. CK-MB
d. Myoglobin
e. b, c, and d

12-lead ECG showed ST elevation in anterior chest leads.
Troponin levels were elevated, and a diagnosis of STEMI has been confirmed. Where do you
expect the causative coronary lesion to be located?
a. Proximal right coronary artery
b. Posterior coronary artery
c. Circumflex artery
d. Proximal portion of the left anterior descending artery
e. Distal portion of the left anterior descending artery
e. Distal portion of the left anterior descending artery
The movement of gas and air into and out of the lungs is called:
a. perfusion
b. ventilation
c. respiration
d. diffusion
, GNRS 610 Advanced Pathophysiology
b. ventilation
Where in the lung does gas exchange occur?
a. Trachea
b. Segmental bronchi
c. Alveolocapillary membrane
d. Main bronchus
c. Alveolocapillary membrane
Match the respiratory pressures with their definition.
1. Alveolar pressure
2. Intrapleural pressure
3. Transpulmonary pressure
4. Intrathoracic pressure
a. The pressure in the thoracic cavity
b. Pressure inside the alveoli of the lungs
c. The difference between the intra-alveolar and intrapleural pressures
d. Pressure in the pleural cavity
