A 58-year-old African American male presented to his primary care physician (PCP) for routine follow-up. Eighteen months earlier, the patient was diagnosed with essential hypertension as indicated by a blood pressure reading of 155/98 mm Hg. At that time, the PCP prescribed the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) lisinopril (20 mg/day) for blood pressure control. In the routine follow-up appointment, the patient’s blood pressure was 128/80 mm Hg. Upon questioning, however, he reported a troublesome chronic cough. After eliminating allergies, infection, and cardiopulmonary conditions as underlying causes, the PCP attributed the cough to the ACEI and switched the patient’s antihypertensive medication to the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) telmisartan (40 mg/day). In a 1-month follow-up appointment, the patient reported cessation of the cough, and his blood pressure was 126/78 mm Hg. What is the mechanism by which ACEI cause the cough? Select one: a. It alters the levels of bradykinin b. It alters the levels of epinephrine c. It prevents the formation of ANGII d. It alters the levels of serotonin A 45-year-old man presents to his physician for a routine health maintenance visit. He reports that he has experienced intermittent heart palpitations. He denies any chest pain, dyspnea on exertion. On physical examination, the patient is well appearing and in no distress. His blood pressure is 110/79 mm Hg. Auscultation of his chest while sitting reveals a late systolic click associated with a high pitched, late systolic murmur. His ECG is normal; a transesophageal echocardiogram shows a thin leaflike structure entering the inferior left atrium during systole. Which of the following correctly identifies the thin leaflike structure? Select one: a. Pulmonary Semilunar Valve b. Aortic Semilunar Valve c. Tricuspid Valve d. Mitral Valve A 65-year-old man presents to the emergency department complaining of a sudden onset of substernal chest pain that radiates to his shoulder. It began while he was watching TV on his couch. He describes that the paramedics administered nitroglycerin spray (an NO donor), which alleviated his chest pain for about 20 minutes, but then the pain returned. The patient experienced hypotension and dizziness while en route to the ER. When examined in the emergency department, the patient states that he has had similar pain with exercise in the past, but it always vanished with rest. A cardiac troponin test is negative and his blood pressure is 135/70. Why did the patient experience temporary hypotension and dizziness? Select one: a. The patient experienced a short-term vasodilation systemically due to the administration of nitroglycerin. b. The patient vasoconstricted the cerebral blood vessels inappropriately to the administration of nitroglycerin, resulting in a temporary decrease of blood to the brain. c. The patient was having a myocardial infarction and lost temporary pumping capacity of the heart. d. The patient was suffering from an overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system in response to the pain. A 35-year-old woman presents to her internist complaining of recent episodes of weakness and tingling in her extremities. She also complains of polyuria and polydipsia. Her blood pressure on the day of this visit is 160/100 mm Hg. Laboratory studies reveal a serum sodium level of 147 mEq/L (hypernatremia), a potassium level of 2.8 mEq/L (hypokalemia), and very low serum renin activity. What is the most likely diagnosis and treatment? Select one: a. An ANP-secreting tumor and candesartan b. An ADH-secreting tumor and furosemide c. Hyperaldosteronism and spironolactone d. Hyperaldosteronism and captopril A 50-year-old woman presents to the emergency department complaining of 2 hours of vertigo, headache, palpitations, and blurry vision. She has a history of occasional tension headaches but no significant cardiac history. She does not smoke and has no history of hypertension. At presentation, her blood pressure is 200/140 mm Hg, her heart rate is 120/min, and she is afebrile. Her skin is sweaty and flushed. Noncontrast imaging of the brain is negative for blood or other mass lesions. Laboratory testing reveals increased plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine. Results of a serum thyroid-stimulating hormone test are within normal limits. Twenty-four-hour urine catecholamines are elevated. Pheochromocytoma is suspected. Which of the following pharmacological agents could be administered to reduce blood pressure? Select one: a. Albuterol b. Phenylephrine c. Propranolol d. Neostigmine

A 26-year-old woman comes to the emergency department because of a 12-hour history of light-headedness and dizziness. She sits in the waiting room for 2 hours before a physician can see her. On standing, she feels faint and immediately returns to a seated position. Her blood pressure is 98/69 mm Hg and increases to 118/82 mm Hg within 5 minutes. The release of which of the following best explains these findings? A) Atrial natriuretic peptide B) Bradykinin C) Brain natriuretic peptide D) Insulin E) Norepinephrine

QUESTION 5 If Mr. Smith had been prescribed a drug that blocked a receptor from being able to bind to a ligand, what would we call that drug? a. An agonist b. An antagonist c. An enzyme inhibitor d. A stimulant QUESTION 6 Which homeostatic parameters were NOT out of the normal range in Mr. Smith's visit to the ER in Part III? a. Blood Pressure and Sodium b. Glucose and Chloride c. Carbon dioxide and Creatinine d. Potassium and Magnesium

Transcript

00:01 The given question from ace first question that is related to aci that caused the so the ace is stand for the antiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor is inhibitor, it affects the respiratory system through to be thought to be through an increase of the substance p which released from the glossopherenzial and the vagal sensory nerves in the and upper airways is naturally degraded by degraded by the ace so that ace inhibitor alter this balance by decreasing the formation of decrease the formation of angiotensin to and degradation of predi -chinine so as inhibitor, it prevents the formation of angiotensin 2 is the right one.

03:04 So the right option that is option c, it prevents the formation of angiotensin 2 is the right one of this question.

03:29 Next question from the leaflets like question from the leaf like structure.

03:50 So a metral valve has the two leaflets, the anterior leaflet has a semi -circular shape and attached to two -fifth of the annular circumference.

04:16 There is continuity between the anterior leaflet of the material valve and coronary cusp of neighboring arctic valve referred to as arctic metral curtain.

04:29 So a trans -esophasial echocardiogram shows a detailed view of your heart's structure function.

05:12 It can help diagnosis and manage many different conditions including arctic aneurysm, which is bulge in your largest blood vessel...
