Pretest
Question 1
True or False
The favored management approach is
1. to appropriately and aggressively pursue all causes of myocardial ischemia.
2. to appropriately treat all reversible causes.
3. continue treatment until clinical studies confirm that the myocardial ischemia is maximally reduced or eliminated.
4. continue treatment until perfusion studies confirm that the myocardial ischemia is maximally reduced or eliminated.
Question 2
True or False
Antiplatelet therapy useful in both prevention and treatment of acute coronary syndromes from ruptured coronary plaques include:
1. aspirin,
2. clopidogrel (Plavix),
3. ticlopidine (Ticlid), or

True or False
Antiplatelet therapy useful in both prevention and treatment of acute coronary syndromes from ruptured coronary plaques include:
1.aspirin,
2.clopidogrel
3. ticlopidine
4. dipyridamole
Answer:
TTTT
Antiplatelet therapy, with aspirin, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, or dipyridamole is useful in both prevention and treatment of acute coronary syndromes from ruptured coronary plaques and subsequent thrombus formation.
