1. A 58-year-old male with a 20-pack-year smoking history
presents with substernal chest pressure while shoveling snow.
The pain radiates to his jaw, lasts 10 minutes, and resolves
with rest. ECG is normal. What is the most appropriate next
step?
• A) Exercise stress test
• B) Coronary angiography
• C) High-sensitivity troponin
• D) Echocardiogram
2
,Answer: C
Rationale: Given suspected unstable angina vs. NSTEMI, high-
sensitivity troponin rules out myocardial injury. Normal ECG does
not exclude ACS. Stress test is contraindicated acutely;
angiography is invasive; echo is less sensitive for ACS.
2. Which medication class is first-line for heart failure with
reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in a patient with diabetes
and CKD stage 3?
• A) Thiazolidinediones
• B) SGLT2 inhibitors (dapagliflozin)
• C) CCB (amlodipine)
• D) Digoxin
Answer: B
Rationale: SGLT2 inhibitors reduce HF hospitalization and CV
death in HFrEF, are safe in CKD3, and benefit diabetes.
3
, Thiazolidinediones worsen HF; CCBs lack mortality benefit;
digoxin is third-line.
3. A 72-year-old woman with hypertension reports dizziness
when standing up quickly. BP supine 135/85, standing
100/70, HR unchanged. Which is the best initial treatment?
• A) Midodrine
• B) Fludrocortisone
• C) Discontinue or reduce antihypertensives
• D) Increase salt intake
Answer: C
Rationale: Drug-induced orthostatic hypotension is common. First
step is reducing/stopping offending agents (e.g., diuretics,
alpha-blockers). Non-pharmacologic measures (hydration,
compression) next. Midodrine/fludrocortisone are second-line.
4. Which ECG finding is most specific for acute pericarditis?
