Question

question 1
ischemia of the myocardium may result in:
aneurysm
angina pectoris
atheroma
ecchymoses

question 2
the leading cardiac risk factors are:
smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, and hyper/cholesterol/emia
aging and loss of libido
hyperglycemia and anoxia
hypo/tension and high fat diets

question 3
a stroke is also known as:
ecchymosis
apoplexy
cardiac arrhythmia
patent ductus arteriosus

Explanation:

• Question 1: Myocardial ischemia can cause angina pectoris due to reduced blood - flow to the heart muscle. Aneurysm is a bulging of a blood vessel, atheroma is related to plaque in arteries, and ecchymoses are skin bruises.
• Question 2: Smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, and hypercholesterolemia are well - known major cardiac risk factors. Aging can be a factor but loss of libido is not a cardiac risk factor. Hyperglycemia and anoxia are related but not the leading ones like the first set. Hypotension is not typically a leading risk factor for heart disease compared to the others.
• Question 3: A stroke is also known as apoplexy. Ecchymosis is a skin discoloration, cardiac arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat, and patent ductus arteriosus is a heart defect in infants.

Answer:

• Question 1: angina pectoris
• Question 2: smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, and hyper/cholesterol/emia
• Question 3: apoplexy
