Assessment & Diagnosis
Exam timer
02:00
A 64-year-old man with diabetes and hypertension presents with 90 minutes of pressure-like retrosternal chest pain radiating to the left arm. He is diaphoretic. ECG shows ST-segment depression in V4–V6 and serial high-sensitivity troponin is rising. What is the most appropriate diagnosis?
Correct answer: B. Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
Ischemic chest pain with dynamic troponin elevation meets criteria for myocardial infarction. ST-segment depression without ST elevation supports NSTEMI rather than STEMI. The patient requires antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulation, cardiac monitoring, high-intensity statin therapy, and cardiology assessment for an invasive strategy based on risk.
