Question 1

Volume of blood ejected by the left ventricle in 1 minute…

Answer 1

Cardiac Output

Question 2

Preload is determined by this variable…

Answer 2

Venous Return

Question 3

Amount of blood pumped by ventricle with each heartbeat….

Answer 3

Stroke Volume

Question 4

Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs) Beta-Blockers (BBs) Vasodilators

Mechanism of Action

↓ contractility, ↓ HR (non-dihydropyridines), and vasodilation

Block receptors, reducing HR, contractility, and oxygen demand

Directly relax vascular smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation

Answer 4

Calcium Channel Blockers
↓ contractility, ↓ HR (non-dihydropyridines), and vasodilation

Beta-Blockers
Block receptors, reducing HR, contractility, and oxygen demand

Vasodilators
Directly relax vascular smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation

Question 5

BB, CCB, Vasodilators

Lowers HR (non-dihydropyridines), ↓ contractility, ↓ BP, REDUCES AFTERLOAD

↓ HR, ↓ contractility, ↓ BP, reduces myocardial oxygen demand	

↓ BP, reduces preload (venous) and/or afterload (arterial)

Answer 5

CCB
Lowers HR (non-dihydropyridines), ↓ contractility, ↓ BP, REDUCES AFTERLOAD

BB
↓ HR, ↓ contractility, ↓ BP, reduces myocardial oxygen demand

Vasodilators
↓ BP, reduces preload (venous) and/or afterload (arterial)

Pain in claudication comes from this factor involved in PAD

Answer 11

Ischemia

Question 12

Which statement comapres difference between Nifedipine & Hydralazine

Nifedipine causes vasodilation and improve perfusion of the coronary arteries

Hydralazine causes vasoconstriction & improves blood flow to the organs

Both agents affect dilation of veins and arteries

Answer 12

Nifedipine causes vasodilation and improve perfusion of the coronary arteries
