Question 22 • Medical Terminology - EL3620

Patients with arrhythmia typically receive which treatments?

Answer
A
an ICD or a pacemaker
B
a CABG or a pacemaker
C
an ICD or a stent
D
a stent or a vascular graft

Explanation

Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms, so treatment may use a pacemaker to help maintain a proper rhythm or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) to detect and correct dangerous rhythms. CABG, stents, and vascular grafts are used to treat blocked or narrowed blood vessels, not typically arrhythmias. Therefore, the correct choice is an ICD or a pacemaker.
