Pharmacological Management of Hypertension Quiz

ACE inhibitors work by blocking the angiotensin-converting enzyme, thus inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

Peripheral edema is a common side effect associated with calcium channel blockers.

ACE inhibitors are commonly associated with a side effect known as a dry, persistent cough.

ACE inhibitors are contraindicated in pregnancy due to their potential teratogenic effects.

Beta-blockers are contraindicated in patients with asthma or COPD due to their bronchoconstrictive effects.

Hyponatremia is a potential adverse effect of thiazide diuretics.

Alpha-blockers are not a first-line treatment option for hypertension according to current guidelines.

Calcium channel blockers are commonly prescribed for patients with hypertension who are of African descent.

ACE inhibitors are associated with a potential side effect of angioedema, particularly in patients with a history of African descent.

ACE inhibitors are associated with a protective effect against stroke and heart failure in addition to their blood pressure-lowering effects.

Inhibition of aldosterone secretion contributes to the antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors.

ACE inhibitors are contraindicated in patients with severe bilateral renal artery stenosis.

ACE inhibitors are associated with a reduction in peripheral vascular resistance by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
