QUIZ Acute-Myocardial-Infarction

The document is a quiz about acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or heart attack. It contains 20 multiple choice questions testing knowledge about AMI signs and symptoms, biomarkers for diagnosis, medications used to treat AMI, and risk factors. The questions cover topics like the biomarker of choice for diagnosing AMI (troponin I), types of AMI (STEMI and NSTEMI), medications given intravenously for chest pain relief (morphine), and risk factors except age.

QUIZ: Acute Myocardial Infarction

1. What is the patient’s Condition?


a. Pericarditis
b. AMI
c. Acute gastritis
d. Acute cholecystitis
2. What is the biomarker of choice that is observed when diagnosing MI?
a. Myoglobin
b. CK-MB
c. Troponin I
d. C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
3. Other than AMI, what condition does the patient have?
a. DM
b. Acute gastritis
c. Esophagitis
d. Myocarditis
4. All of the following are the types of MI except
a. STEMI
b. NSTEMI
c. Coronary Spasm
d. None of these
5. This is a type of MI in which the arteries are narrowed and prevent blood from flowing to the
heart?
a. Coronary spasm
b. Unstable Angina
c. STEMI
d. NSTEMI
6. A positive family history for myocardial infarction (MI) is known to be a major cardiovascular risk
factor. Most genetic heart conditions are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.
a. Both statements are correct
b. Only the first statement is correct
c. Only the second statement is incorrect
d. Both statements are incorrect
7. This medication is usually given intravenously for chest pain relief.
a. Antiplatelets
b. Antithrombotics
c. Morphine
d. Beta blockers
8. Retaplase is a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist that is used as medical interventions for
AMI which showed improved clinical and angiographic outcomes with treatment. Abciximab is
the first third-generation thrombolytic agent to be approved for use in acute MI to improve
postinfarct ventricular function, lessen the incidence of congestive heart failure, and reduce
mortality.
a. Both statements are correct
b. Only the first statement is correct
c. Only the second statement is incorrect
d. Both statements are incorrect
9. This biomarker is found mainly in the heart and increases within 3-12 hours of onset of chest
pain and reaches peak values within 24 hours.
a. Creatine kinase
b. CK-MB
c. Troponin I
d. Myoglobin
10. This Biomarker is released more rapidly from infarcted myocardium, and may be detected as
early as 2 hours after an AMI.
a. Creatine kinase
b. CK-MB
c. Troponin I
d. Myoglobin
11. AST increases in the blood 4-5 hours after an acute MI, peaks at 15-28 hours and returns to
baseline within 5 days
a. True
b. False
c. Maybe
d. I don’t know
12. Is a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist that is used as medical interventions for AMI which
showed improved clinical and angiographic outcomes with treatment.
a. Abciximab
b. Reteplase
c. Beta Blockers
d. Antiplatelets
13. Aspirin is a powerful antiplatelet drug, with a rapid effect, which reduces mortality by 20%.
Aspirin. 150-500 mg of aspirin, should be swallowed as early as possible.
a. Both statements are correct
b. Only the first statement is correct
c. Only the second statement is correct
d. Both statements are incorrect
14. The term "acute" denotes infarction less than 3-5 days old, when the inflammatory infiltrate is
primarily neutrophilic.
a. True
b. False
15. All of the following are the risk factors that could potentially lead to Acute Myocardial Infarction.
EXCEPT.
a. Cigarette smoking
b. High LDL cholesterol
c. Age
d. Hypertension
16. Higher risk of coronary artery disease and heart attack is linked to a lower calcium concentration
in the blood. Low phosphate levels in the blood may be associated with an increased risk of
heart attack and coronary artery disease.
a. Both statements are correct
b. Only the first statement is correct
c. Only the second statement is correct
d. Both statements are incorrect

17. Serum electrolyte imbalances after an episode of acute myocardial infarction are common.
a. True
b. False
18. Echocardiogram (echo) is used to evaluate the lungs, heart and chest wall and may be used to
help diagnose shortness of breath, persistent cough, fever, chest pain or injury. Chest x-ray is a
graphic outline of the heart's movement.
a. Both statements are correct
b. Only the first statement is correct
c. Only the second statement is correct
d. Both statements are incorrect
19. All of the following are the possible signs/symptoms that will be experienced by the person with
Acute Myocardial Infarction, EXCEPT.
a. Anxiety
b. Sweating
c. Sense of impending doom
d. None of this

20. Is obtained if myocardial infarction (MI) is suspected in order to rule out anemia as a cause of
decreased oxygen supply and prior to giving thrombolytic agents.

b. Lipid Profile
c. Complete Blood Count (CDC)
