The questions:
1- Myocardial infarction:
i- It occurs when the blood vessels which supply the heart are blocked.
ii- It causes dilation and impaired function of one or both ventricles in the heart.
iii- The atheromas may form in one or more places in the coronary arteries and cause myocardial infarction.
iv- i and iii.
2- Hypertension:
i- It is the main cause of damage to the heart muscle.
ii- It is a major risk factor for other diseases.
iii- Increased levels of renin secreted by the kidney may play the main role in this illness.
iv- All of the above.
3- Inflammatory heart disease has three types:
i- Endocarditis affects the inner layer of the heart muscle (endocardium).
ii- Pericarditis is associated with acute left ventricular dysfunction.
iii- Myocarditis is caused due to inflammation of the pericardial sac.
iv- All of the above.
4- Heart failure :
i- It is known as heart attack.
ii- The most common cause for heart failure is diabetes.
iii- The heart cannot pump the blood to the other systems in the body.
iv- None of the above.
5- Atherosclerosis:
i- It causes increased flexibility of the arteries increasing blood flow.
ii- It leads to other types of heart disease.
iii- It occurs due to fat and cholesterol building up in the artery walls forming plaques.
