Question 1 of 5
Which of the following antianginal drugs would be appropriate for this patient?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: Isosorbide mononitrate is a nitrate that dilates blood vessels, reducing cardiac workload. Step 2: Patient likely has angina due to coronary artery disease, so vasodilation helps improve blood flow to heart. Step 3: Diltiazem, verapamil, and nifedipine are calcium channel blockers that may lower blood pressure and heart rate, but not specifically indicated for angina. Step 4: Diltiazem and verapamil can even worsen angina by reducing heart rate and contractility. Step 5: Nifedipine primarily dilates peripheral arteries and is not as effective for coronary artery vasodilation in angina.
