Cardiac Conditions Quiz

What is the main difference between a healthy heart, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction, as shown in the image?

• Healthy heart has a blocked artery, while angina pectoris and myocardial infarction have clear coronary arteries.

• Angina pectoris shows partial artery blockage, while myocardial infarction shows a fully blocked artery with damage to the heart muscle.

• Myocardial infarction has clear coronary arteries, while healthy heart and angina pectoris show plaque buildup.

• Healthy heart and angina pectoris both have blocked arteries, but myocardial infarction shows no blood flow restriction.
