Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Stable angina is associated with activity and subsides with rest. Unstable angina is a form of acute coronary syndrome that results from reversible myocardial ischemia and occurs at rest. Chest pain that occurs at rest and at night is descriptive of Prinzmetal angina. MI pain does not subside with rest.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The diagnosis of acute MI is made on the basis of serial cardiac biomarker alterations. The cardi-ac troponins (troponins I and T) are the most specific indicators of MI. Elevated troponins I and T are indicative of MI, not Raynaud disease, orthostatic hypotension, or angina
