Question

Major risk factors for AMI include all of the following, EXCEPT: Select one: A. hypoglycemia. B. diabetes mellitus. C. elevated cholesterol. D. hypertension.

Answer 1

Major risk factors for AMI include hypertension, diabetes mellitus, elevated cholesterol, and other factors. Hypoglycemia is not considered a major risk factor for AMI.

Step-by-step explanation:

The major risk factors for AMI (Acute Myocardial Infarction) include hypertension, diabetes mellitus, elevated cholesterol, and several other factors.

However, hypoglycemia is not considered as a major risk factor for AMI.

Studies have shown that individuals with diabetes mellitus are at a higher risk of developing AMI due to the effects of elevated blood sugar levels on the cardiovascular system.

Answer 2

Option A, hypoglycemia, is not a major risk factor for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), whereas the other options listed are recognized as significant risk factors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to identifying which option is not a major risk factor for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Major risk factors for AMI include cardiovascular disease, smoking, high blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, lack of physical exercise, chronic kidney disease, excessive alcohol consumption, and use of illegal drugs.

The correct answer to the question is 'A. hypoglycemia' as it is not listed as a major risk factor for AMI among the options provided and in general medical literature. While hypoglycemia can be dangerous, it is not typically cited as a direct major risk factor for AMI.
