Question
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.
Solution
The correct statement is: "Unstable angina is a greater risk factor for Myocardial Infarction than stable angina."
Here's why:
a. Atherosclerosis in the right ventricle is not a major risk factor for IHD. Atherosclerosis typically occurs in the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle.
b. The elderly are at higher, not lower, risk of myocardial infarction. This is due to factors such as increased blood pressure, atherosclerosis progression, and other age-related changes in the heart and blood vessels.
c. Men are at increased risk of IHD, but it's not due to increased lifetime oestrogen production. In fact, oestrogen is thought to have a protective effect against heart disease. Men are at higher risk due to factors such as higher rates of smoking and certain lifestyle factors.
d. Unstable angina is indeed a greater risk factor for Myocardial Infarction than stable angina. Unstable angina is a condition in which your heart doesn
