Cardiovascular Drug Therapy Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following drugs most likely caused the patient's MI?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Propranolol. Propranolol is a non-selective beta-blocker that can potentially cause vasoconstriction, increased blood pressure, and decreased oxygen supply to the heart, leading to myocardial infarction (MI) in susceptible individuals. Nitroprusside (B) and Nitroglycerin (C) are vasodilators that help improve blood flow and decrease cardiac workload, making them unlikely to cause MI. Nifedipine (D) is a calcium channel blocker that primarily affects blood vessels and the heart, but it is less likely to cause MI compared to propranolol.
