Question 1 of 5
Which of the following pairs of drugs would be appropriate for a patient recently diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Isosorbide mononitrate and nifedipine. Isosorbide mononitrate dilates coronary arteries, reducing myocardial oxygen demand. Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps reduce cardiac workload. Together, they can help manage symptoms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Choice B (Nitroglycerin and captopril) is incorrect because captopril is an ACE inhibitor used for heart failure, not hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Choice C (Nitroglycerin and verapamil) is incorrect because verapamil can worsen symptoms due to its negative inotropic effects. Choice D (Verapamil and metoprolol) is incorrect because metoprolol is a beta-blocker, which can worsen symptoms in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by reducing heart rate and contractility.
