Question

Statement I:Angina pectoris is a warning signal of deprivation of blood supply to the heart muscles.
Statement II:Coronary artery disease is also called atherosclerotic heart disease.

• A. Both statements I and II are true.
• B. Both statements I and II are false.
• C. Statement I is true. But II is false.
• D. Statement I is false. But II is true.

Hint:

Remember, angina pectoris is a symptom of coronary artery disease, and it signals reduced blood flow to the heart. Both of these conditions are related to each other, making both statements true.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: The first statement is correct because angina pectoris is indeed a warning signal that suggests a temporary decrease in blood supply to the heart. This condition is usually caused by a blockage or narrowing of the coronary arteries.
Step 2: The second statement is also correct. Coronary artery disease, often referred to as atherosclerotic heart disease, involves the buildup of fatty deposits and plaque in the coronary arteries, which can lead to a reduction in blood flow to the heart. Step 3: Therefore, both statements I and II are true, and the correct answer is option (1).
