Answer 6

Mild-moderate hypertension, benign prostatic hypertrophy

Question 7

Alpha 1 blockers mild-moderate hypertension

Answer 7

Not suitable as mono therapy, decreases TPR thus MABP

Question 10

ACE inhibitors hypertension

Answer 10

Arterial & venous dilation reducing BP

Question 11

ACE inhibitors congestive HF

Answer 11

Reduces afterload & preload, reduces symp activity & cardiac remodeling caused by ANG2 (useful post MI) also useful in renal disease
