Two conditions related to cardiac compromise are angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. in comparing the two, remember that:

a. angina pectoris usually includes other symptoms, such as pale, sweaty skin.

b. nitroglycerin may give incomplete or no relief of myocardial infarction pain.

c. pain from a myocardial infarction radiates, while pain from angina does not.

d. pain from both angina pectoris and myocardial infarction usually subsides within 10 minutes or stops after activity.

Answer;

b. nitroglycerin may give incomplete or no relief of myocardial infarction pain.

Two conditions related to cardiac compromise are angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. In comparing the two, remember that nitroglycerin may give incomplete or no relief of myocardial infarction pain.

Explanation;

-Angina pectoris is the chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease. It occurs when the heart does not get enough blood, due to blockage or narrowing of one or more heart's arteries.

-Myocardial infarction occurs when there is decreased blood flow or stoppage to a part of the heart, resulting to the heart muscle damage.

-Nitroglycerin extended-release capsules are used to prevent chest pain (angina) in people with a cardiac compromise. However, Nitroglycerin may give incomplete or no relief of myocardial infarction pain.
