Pertaining to the risk factors for ischemic heart disease (IHD), which of the following statements is correct?Question 40Select one:a.Atherosclerosis in the right ventricle is a major risk factor.b.The elderly are at lower risk of myocardial infarction, partially due to reduced atherosclerosis progression.c.Men are at increased risk of IHD due to increased lifetime oestrogen production.d.Unstable angina is a greater risk factor for Myocardial Infarction than stable angina.e.Smoking, diabetes and hypertension are protective against the development of IHD.

Pertaining to chronic Ischaemic Heart Disease (cIHD) and Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD):W. cIHD is typically a consequence of a single myocardial infarction.X. Patients with cIHD typically present with both left ventricular hypertrophy and dilatation.Y. SCD is the same as a myocardial infarction.Z. SCD causes death within 24 hours, often from disruptions of heart rhythm (arrhythmias).Question 34Select one:a.Only W, X, and Y are correct.b.Only W and Y are correct.c.Only X and Z are correct.d.Only Z is correct.e.All are correct.
