Which of the following is a potential detrimental effect of nitrates in the prophylactic treatment of exertional angina?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Increased capacitance of systemic veins. Nitrates cause vasodilation, leading to increased venous capacitance, reducing preload and myocardial oxygen demand. Decreased ejection time (A) and decreased arterial pressure (D) are actually beneficial effects of nitrates, as they reduce cardiac workload. Increased cardiac rate (B) is not a common adverse effect of nitrates in the treatment of exertional angina.
