Respuesta :

Of all the choices, the patient that has the most risk of developing coronary artery disease is a patient with hypertension who smokes. Therefore, the most correct answer is the first choice.

Coronary artery disease is a heart condition where the major blood vessels that supply the heart can't send enough blood and nutrients to the heart muscles. The main causes of coronary artery disease are:

  • Hypertension or high blood pressure. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause arterial stiffness, which may make coronary artery become narrow.
  • Tobacco use (smoking). People who smoke have an increased risk of heart disease.
  • Sedentary lifestyle (not doing enough exercise).
