WorksheetsDrugs used in HF and arrhythmias: MCQ Test – Batch A
Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 10mins
Drugs used in the treatment of Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction include ALL EXCEPT:
Beta blocker
Sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor
Calcium channel blocker
Na+K+2Cl- cotransport inhibitor
Combination of Valsartan and Sacubitril is helpful in heart failure because of the following reasons EXCEPT:
They decrease the pre-load acting on the heart
They retard cardiovascular remodelling
They decrease the after load acting on the heart
They increase the force of cardiac contraction
Drug that DOES NOT prevent ventricular remodelling in Heart failure is:
Furosemide
Enalapril
Carvedilol
Spironolactone
Treatment of pulmonary oedema due to acute LVF involves the administration of:
Furosemide and Nitroglycerin
Furosemide and Carvedilol
Furosemide and Digoxin
Furosemide and Enalapril
FALSE STATEMENT regarding drugs used in Heart failure is:
ACE inhibitors are found to be superior to ARBs in the treatment of heart failure
Administration of beta blocker enhances long term survival benefits in heart failure patients
Hyperkalaemia induced by certain diuretics can precipitate digoxin toxicity
Cardiac glycoside can cause gynaecomastia and xanthopsia as an adverse effect
Class III anti arrhythmic agent is:
Verapamil
Amiodarone
Propranolol
Lidocaine
FALSE STATEMENT regarding the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is:
Among class III anti arrhythmic agents, Amiodarone is least likely to cause Torsades de pointes
Cardioversion is generally considered as the treatment of choice in atrial fibrillation
Calcium channel blockers like Amlodipine can be used to terminate an acute attack of PSVT
Cardiac arrhythmia is a well-known adverse effect of many anti arrhythmic drugs.
TRUE STATEMENT is:
Lidocaine is not used in the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias
Long term administration of quinidine causes blue grey discoloration called ceruloderma
Beta blockers are the preferred agents in the treatment of congenital Long QT syndrome
Use dependent blockade is shown by class III anti arrhythmic drugs
Assertion: Digoxin is a positive inotrope used for providing long term benefits in Heart failure. Reason: Digoxin blocks Na⁺K⁺ ATPase pump that indirectly leads to intracellular calcium accumulation.
Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason explains Assertion.
Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason does not explain Assertion.
Assertion is true, Reason is false.
Assertion is false, Reason is true.
Assertion: Adenosine is the preferred agent for terminating an acute attack of PSVT Reason: It rapidly activates Kₐch channels and reduces inward calcium current also at AV node
Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason explains Assertion.
Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason does not explain Assertion.
Assertion is true, Reason is false.
Assertion is false, Reason is true.
