Select the correct statements. (Note that there may be more than one correct statement.)Group of answer choicesOne of the benefits of anticoagulant administration that these medications they thin blood (i.e., decrease blood viscosity) and therefore decrease blood pressure.ACE inhibitors decrease angiotensin II production and therefore decrease total peripheral resistance.β receptor antagonists decrease total peripheral resistance and evoke bronchodilation.One of the most common adverse effects of angiotensin II receptor antagonists is persistent, non-productive cough.

which of the following decreases blood pressure. a drug that:a) causes vasoconstrictionb) increases degradation of bradykininc) promotes aldosterone productiond) inhibits conversion of angiotensin I to II2 / 2

Which one of the following statements regarding angiotensin AT1 receptor antagonists for the treatment of hypertension is correct?Group of answer choicesThey lower blood pressure via decreased angiotensin II levels.They decrease total peripheral resistance.They cause a dry cough.They decrease circulating angiotensin I levels.

When dietary and lifestyle interventions are unsuccessful at managing hypertension, medical professionals may prescribe angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors to lower blood pressure. Describe how ACE inhibitors work.(2 marks)

How does angiotensin II cause an increase in blood pressure?Multiple ChoiceBy inhibiting the release of aldosteroneBy stimulating the release of reninBy increasing peripheral resistanceBy promoting the excretion of sodium

Select the correct statements. (Note that there may be more than one correct statement.)Group of answer choicesIncreased sympathetic activity results in an increased activation of α1 adrenoreceptors, which profoundly increases heart rate and therefore cardiac output.Statins decrease plasma LDL concentration because they inhibit an enzyme that is involved in hepatic cholesterol synthesis.Hypertension damages endothelium and therefore accelerates the development of atherosclerotic plaques.Systemic vasoconstriction increases total peripheral resistance and therefore increases mean arterial pressure, too.
