Answer 1

18. Option D is correct as Regurgitation is associated with both of the cases like mitral valve prolapse & acquired valvular heart disease.

19. Excessive cholesterol buildup that blocks a coronary artery increases the risk of getting atheroscleorosis and thus may lead to the heart attack or myocardial infarction. Hence option A is correct.

20. Marfan syndrome is associated with aortic rupture or aneurysm. Hence option D is correct.

21. Isometric activities like push-ups /sit-ups as well as heavy weightlifting is contraindicated with Marfan syndrome. Hence option B is correct.

22. Commotio cordis is associated with the cardiac death because of non-penetrating chest trauma. Hence option A is correct.

23. Decerebration position defines the legs in extension and the elbows, wrists, and fingers in flexion. Hence option B is correct.

24. Exertional rhabdomyolysis leads to the exertional heat stroke which arises as most preventable cause of sudden death. Option C is correct.

25. Extended or heavy use of alcohol, cocaine, or steroids can produce cardiomyopathy., it is also referred as alcoholic cardiomyopathy. Hence option A is correct.
