Cardiovascular Drugs

Question 1

It is determined by 1) myocardial contractility (force with which the ventricles contract),2) cardiac afterload, 3) cardiac preload

Answer 1

STROKE VOLUME

Question 2

A load against which a muscle exerts its force = arterial pressure that the left ventricle overcomes to eject blood

Answer 2

AFTERLOAD

Question 3

It is an amount of tension (stretch) applied to a muscle before contraction = force of venous return

Answer 3

PRELOAD

Question 4

Defined as a persistent systolic pressure of greater than 140mmHg and/or a diastolic pressure of greater than 90mmHg.

Answer 4

HYPERTENSION

Question 5

Determined by the product of cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance.

Answer 5

BLOOD PRESSURE

Question 6

It is defined as an amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle and measured in Lpm.

Answer 6

CARDIAC OUTPUT

Question 7

Resistance to blood flow that is determined by the diameter of the blood vessels and vascular musculature.

Answer 7

SYSTEMIC VASCULAR RESISTANCE (SVR)

Question 8

It reduces viscosity of the blood by increasing the flexibility of the RBVs

Answer 8

PENTOXYFYLLINE

Question 9

it is a type of medication which is responsible for the effectiveness in restoring hair growth

Answer 9

Minoxidil

Question 10

It is early stage of progressive artery disease characterized by pain increasing in severity and frequency and may even occur at rest

Answer 10

Unstable Angina

Question 11

what do you called when the heart is unable to pump in sufficient amounts from the ventricles to meet metabolic needs

Answer 11

HEART FAILURE

Question 12

It increase the force of myocardial contraction.

Answer 12

POSITIVE INOTROPIC drugs

Question 13

It increase the rate in which the heart beats

Answer 13

POSITIVE DROMOTROPIC drugs

Question 14

ECG Stands for?

Answer 14

ELECTROCARDIOGRAM

Question 15

It is responsible for preventing platelet plugs from forming by inhibiting platelet aggregation.

Answer 15

Antiplatelet

Question 16

It breaks down clots and thrombi that have already formed.

Answer 16

Thrombolytic

Question 17

It is defined as hemostatic drugs and promote blood coagulation.

Answer 17

Anti-fibrinolytic

Question 18

It Alter platelet function without preventing the platelets from working

Answer 18

Hemorrheologic

Question 19

It inhibit the action or formation of clotting factors and prevents clots from forming

Answer 19

Anti-coagulants

Question 20

It inhibits ADP to prevent signal to aggregate and form a clot

Answer 20

CLOPIDOGREL
