The key is B. Percutaneous angiography. This is a wrong key! Correct key is E. Aspirin. [In any case of IHD, most important initial management is aspirin (unless decided to go for thrombolysis). Aspirin, the most widely used anti- platelet agent, is effective, safe, and inexpensive and is recommended for all patients undergoing PCI].
