Drugs Affecting Cardiovascular System Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following drugs would be most appropriate to treat the patient's arrhythmia?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Amiodarone. Amiodarone is the most appropriate choice because it is a Class III antiarrhythmic drug that is effective in treating various types of arrhythmias, including ventricular and atrial arrhythmias. It works by prolonging the action potential duration and refractory period of cardiac tissue, helping to stabilize the heart's rhythm. Quinidine (A) is a Class I antiarrhythmic drug with potential side effects and limited efficacy. Verapamil (C) is a calcium channel blocker that is more suitable for treating certain types of supraventricular arrhythmias but not as effective for other types. Propranolol (D) is a beta-blocker that may be used for certain arrhythmias, but it is not as effective or versatile as amiodarone for treating various types of arrhythmias.
