1. Assignment on Mechanism of action of CV drugs

Write a brief paragraph (150–200 words) on how understanding the mechanism of cardiovascular drugs can help in the following scenario: A 65-year-old hypertensive patient with reduced renal function is prescribed Enalapril. Discuss why this drug is chosen and what monitoring is required.

Quadrant - IV (MCQs)

What is the primary target of ACE inhibitors like Enalapril?

A: β1-receptors B: Angiotensin-converting enzyme C: Calcium channels D: Renin receptors

Enalapril causes a reduction in blood pressure mainly through:

A: Vasoconstriction B: Increased cardiac output C: Vasodilation and natriuresis D: Increased sympathetic activity

β1-blockers reduce blood pressure by:

A: Increasing renin secretion B: Blocking angiotensin receptors C: Increasing myocardial contractility D: Decreasing heart rate and cardiac output

Which of the following is an enzyme inhibitor used as an antihypertensive?

A: Amlodipine B: Propranolol C: Enalapril D: Furosemide

Which of the following drugs inhibits the conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II?

A: Losartan B: Enalapril C: Atenolol D: Nifedipine

Blocking β1-adrenergic receptors leads to:

A: Increased contractility B: Decreased Heart rate C: Bronchodilation D: Increased renin secretion

The primary mechanism of diuretics in blood pressure control is:

A: Increasing vascular resistance B: Promoting sodium and water retention C: Increasing fluid excretion D: Stimulating aldosterone release

The reflection spot question in the PPT focused on:

A: The role of β-blockers in anxiety B: Enzyme inhibition and its effects C: Antiplatelet drug use D: Calcium channel blockers

Which of the following is a correct pairing of drug class and mechanism?

A: ACE inhibitor – β1-blockade B: Calcium channel blocker – RAAS inhibition C: β-blocker – decreases HR and contractility D: ARB – calcium influx reduction

Which mechanism is NOT involved in cardiovascular drug action?

A: Enzyme inhibition B: Ion channel modulation C: DNA replication inhibition D: Receptor blockade
