Q1. A 45-year-old man presents with crushing chest pain
radiating to his left arm. ECG shows ST elevation in leads II, III,
and aVF. Which coronary artery is most likely occluded?
A) Left anterior descending artery
B) Right coronary artery
C) Left circumflex artery
D) Posterior descending artery
Correct Answer: B) Right coronary artery
Rationale: ST elevation in II, III, and aVF indicates an inferior
wall myocardial infarction. The right coronary artery most
commonly supplies the inferior portion of the heart, making it the
usual culprit. Left anterior descending artery occlusion typically
1
,affects anterior leads (V1-V4), while left circumflex occlusion
often presents with lateral wall changes (I, aVL, V5-V6).
Q2. A patient presents with chest pain, hypotension, and jugular
venous distention. Muffled heart sounds are noted on
auscultation. Which finding is expected on ECG?
A) Peaked T waves
B) Electrical alternans
C) ST elevation in V1-V4
D) Wide QRS complex
Correct Answer: B) Electrical alternans
Rationale: This patient presents with Beck's triad (hypotension,
JVD, muffled heart sounds) classic for cardiac tamponade.
Electrical alternans—beat-to-beat variation in QRS amplitude—
is a classic ECG finding due to the heart swinging within a fluid-
filled pericardial sac. This differentiates tamponade from other
causes of shock with distended neck veins.
2
,Q3. A 60-year-old diabetic patient presents with intermittent
chest pain occurring at rest and improving with nitroglycerin.
Troponin levels are normal. Which is the most appropriate initial
management?
A) Aspirin and clopidogrel with heparin infusion
B) Discharge with outpatient cardiology follow-up
C) Thrombolytic therapy
D) Immediate coronary angiography
Correct Answer: A) Aspirin and clopidogrel with heparin infusion
Rationale: Unstable angina presents with rest pain, normal
biomarkers, and dynamic ECG changes. Dual antiplatelet
therapy (aspirin + P2Y12 inhibitor) and anticoagulation
(heparin) are indicated. Thrombolytics are not used for unstable
angina, and immediate angiography is reserved for high-risk
features or refractory symptoms.
3
, Q4. A 72-year-old man with hypertension presents with sudden
onset tearing chest pain radiating to his back. Blood pressure is
210/110 mmHg. Pulses are diminished in the left arm compared
to the right. What is the most appropriate immediate step?
A) Administer IV beta-blocker to reduce heart rate and blood
pressure
B) Obtain stat echocardiogram
C) Administer heparin and aspirin
D) Perform immediate pericardiocentesis
Correct Answer: A) Administer IV beta-blocker to reduce heart
rate and blood pressure
Rationale: This presentation is classic for aortic dissection. Initial
management focuses on reducing the rate of rise of left
ventricular pressure (dP/dt) with beta-blockade to prevent
propagation of the dissection. After rate control, additional
antihypertensives may be added.
