Question 5 of 5
A 68-year-old man was diagnosed with systolic heart failure with normal ejection fraction and normal sinus rhythm at rest. A treatment with captopril was started. Which of the following actions most likely mediated the therapeutic effect of captopril in this patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Captopril is an ACE inhibitor that works by reducing preload and afterload on the heart, which helps improve symptoms of heart failure. By reducing preload, it decreases the amount of blood returning to the heart, and by reducing afterload, it decreases the resistance the heart has to pump against. This ultimately leads to improved cardiac function and symptom relief in patients with heart failure.
