Question 1 of 5
Which of the following would be a useful drug to add to the patient's therapeutic regimen?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Metoprolol. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker commonly used in heart failure to reduce morbidity and mortality. It improves symptoms, decreases hospitalizations, and increases survival rates in heart failure patients. It works by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart, leading to decreased heart rate and blood pressure, which reduces the workload on the heart. Choice B, Digoxin, is not typically used as a first-line treatment in heart failure. Choice C, Dobutamine, is a short-acting inotrope used in acute heart failure exacerbations, not for long-term therapy. Choice D, Milrinone, is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor used in acute heart failure, but it has more side effects and is not recommended for long-term use.
