Question

question 7
chest pain associated with coronary artery disease is called:
a) ischemia.
b) hyperalgia.
c) angina.
d) anglodynia.
e) pectorodynia.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Ischemia is a lack of blood supply, not the chest pain itself.
• Option B: Hyperalgia is increased sensitivity to pain, not related to coronary artery disease chest pain.
• Option C: Angina (specifically angina pectoris) is chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart, associated with coronary artery disease.
• Option D: Anglodynia is not the term for chest pain in coronary artery disease (likely a misspelling or incorrect term).
• Option E: Pectorodynia is general chest pain, not specifically related to coronary artery disease.

Answer:

C. angina.
