Solution

The correct option is A Myocardial infarction
  • The symptoms of myocardial infarction include heaviness and severe pain in the chest and neck region, lower jaw, left arm and left shoulder.
  • Angina pectoris has symptoms of acute chest pain when not enough oxygen is reaching the heart muscle.
  • Atherosclerosis affects the vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle which is caused by deposits of calcium, fat, cholesterol and fibrous tissues making the lumen of arteries narrower.
  • Arteriosclerosis show symptoms like chest pain or pressure, sudden arm or leg weakness or numbness, slurred speech, high blood pressure, etc.
  • So, the correct option is "Myocardial infarction".
