Peripheral resistance means:
- A.
Pressure exerted by the walls of arteries on the blood.
- B.
Pressure exerted by the blood on walls of arteries
- C.
Maximum pressure during systole
- D.
Pressure around the arteries.
Correct Answer
A. Pressure exerted by the walls of arteries on the blood.Explanation
Peripheral resistance refers to the pressure exerted by the walls of arteries on the blood. As blood flows through the arteries, the resistance encountered by the blood vessels' walls can affect the blood pressure. This resistance is determined by factors such as the diameter of the blood vessels, the viscosity of the blood, and the length of the blood vessels. Therefore, the correct answer is "Pressure exerted by the walls of arteries on the blood."Rate this question:

As per JNC what is SBP/DBP ratio in Pre hypertensive patient
- A.
SBP 120-139 & DBP 80-89mmHg
- B.
SBP 130 & DBP 80 mmHg
- C.
SBP 140 & 90mmHg
- D.
SBP >160 & DBP >100mmHg
Correct Answer
A. SBP 120-139 & DBP 80-89mmHgExplanation
According to JNC (Joint National Committee) guidelines, a prehypertensive patient is defined as having a systolic blood pressure (SBP) ranging from 120-139 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ranging from 80-89 mmHg. This range indicates that the patient's blood pressure is elevated but not yet in the hypertensive range. Therefore, the correct answer is SBP 120-139 & DBP 80-89mmHg.Rate this question:

What are the examples of ARBs for treating hypertension?
- A.
Losartan & Telmisartan
- B.
Atenolol,Metoprolol
- C.
Enalapril & Ramipril
- D.
Amlodipine & Nefidepine
Correct Answer
A. Losartan & TelmisartanExplanation
Losartan and Telmisartan are examples of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) used for treating hypertension. ARBs work by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, resulting in increased blood pressure. By blocking the effects of angiotensin II, ARBs help to relax and widen blood vessels, reducing blood pressure. Losartan and Telmisartan are commonly prescribed ARBs and are effective in managing hypertension.Rate this question:

Amlodipine act directly on which muscles to reduce peripheral resistance?
- A.
Vascular Smooth Muscle
- B.
Striated Muscles
- C.
Skeletal muscles
- D.
Tough Muscles
Correct Answer
A. Vascular Smooth MuscleExplanation
Amlodipine acts directly on vascular smooth muscles to reduce peripheral resistance. This medication is a calcium channel blocker that inhibits the influx of calcium ions into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels. By doing so, it relaxes and widens the blood vessels, leading to a reduction in peripheral resistance. This ultimately helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow.Rate this question:

Chlorthalidone superior to Amlodipine to prevent:
- A.
Heart Failure
- B.
Stroke
- C.
Angina & Post MI
- D.
Coronary Artery Disease
Correct Answer
A. Heart FailureExplanation
Chlorthalidone is superior to Amlodipine in preventing heart failure because it is a diuretic that helps to reduce fluid buildup in the body, thus decreasing the workload on the heart. Amlodipine, on the other hand, is a calcium channel blocker that primarily works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels to improve blood flow. While Amlodipine may be effective in managing other cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension and angina, Chlorthalidone specifically targets heart failure prevention due to its diuretic properties.Rate this question:

Middle Ear Effusion means
- A.
Accumulation of Fluid in the middle year
- B.
Swelling of Middle ear
- C.
Pus formation in the middle ear
- D.
Infection in middle ear
Correct Answer
A. Accumulation of Fluid in the middle yearExplanation
Middle Ear Effusion refers to the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear. This condition occurs when the Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the back of the throat, becomes blocked or dysfunctional. The fluid buildup can result from various causes such as allergies, colds, sinus infections, or changes in air pressure. Middle Ear Effusion can cause symptoms like ear pain, hearing loss, a feeling of fullness in the ear, and sometimes even infection. Treatment options may include medications, such as decongestants or antibiotics, or in some cases, surgical intervention may be required to drain the fluid.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Antihypertensive & Lipid lowering to prevent Heart Attack trialExplanation
The correct answer is "Antihypertensive & Lipid lowering to prevent Heart Attack trial". This is the full form of ALLHAT, which is a clinical trial that aimed to compare the effects of different antihypertensive drugs on cardiovascular outcomes.

Definition of Hypertension is:
- A.
Sustained increase in SBP/DBP >140/90mmHg
- B.
SBP/DBP
- C.
SBP/DBP >160/90 mmHg
- D.
Sustained increase in SBP/DBP
Correct Answer
A. Sustained increase in SBP/DBP >140/90mmHgExplanation
The correct answer is "Sustained increase in SBP/DBP >140/90mmHg". This means that hypertension is defined as a consistent and prolonged elevation in both systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) above the threshold of 140/90mmHg. This sustained increase in blood pressure indicates high blood pressure, which can have detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system if left uncontrolled.Rate this question:

Chlorthalidone is better than Lisinopril to prevent
- A.
Stroke & Heart failure
- B.
Angina & Heart failure
- C.
Anxiety & Angina Pectoris
- D.
Myocardial Infarction
Correct Answer
A. Stroke & Heart failureExplanation
Chlorthalidone is a diuretic medication that helps to lower blood pressure and reduce fluid buildup in the body. It is commonly used to prevent and manage conditions such as stroke and heart failure. Lisinopril, on the other hand, is an ACE inhibitor that also helps to lower blood pressure, but it may not be as effective as chlorthalidone in preventing stroke and heart failure. Therefore, chlorthalidone is a better choice for preventing these specific conditions compared to lisinopril.Rate this question:

Amlodipine belongs to which class of drugs
- A.
Dihydropyridine calcium antagonist
- B.
Hydro pyridine calcium antagonist
- C.
Loop diuretics
- D.
Beta Blocker
Correct Answer
A. Dihydropyridine calcium antagonistExplanation
Amlodipine belongs to the class of drugs known as dihydropyridine calcium antagonists. These drugs work by blocking the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, leading to relaxation and dilation of the blood vessels. This helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow. Amlodipine is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and angina (chest pain).Rate this question:

As per UKPDS study Atenolol significantly reduce:
- A.
CV events related to Diabetes
- B.
Dyslipidemia
- C.
Angina Pectoris
- D.
Kidney disease
Correct Answer
A. CV events related to DiabetesExplanation
The correct answer is CV events related to Diabetes. The UKPDS study found that Atenolol, a medication used to treat high blood pressure, can significantly reduce cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes. This includes reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications that are commonly associated with diabetes. Atenolol does not have a significant impact on dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid levels), angina pectoris (chest pain), or kidney disease.Rate this question:
