Question 4

41

A. Nitroglycerine and nifedipine B. Verapamil and propranolol C. Nitroglycerin and propranolol

D. Nitroglycerin, nifedipine and propranolol E. Amlodipine and propranolol (B)

Question 5

All of the following statements regarding combination therapy for the treatment of angina are true EXCEPT: A

A. Verapamil and an organic nitrate are a useful combination for treating angina in patients with heart failure.

B. A combination of an organic nitrate and a beta-blocker is an effective treatment of stable angina. C. The combination of verapamil and propranolol is typically contraindicated.

D. Triple therapy with an organic nitrate, a calcium channel blocker, and a beta-blocker can be effective in the treatment of angina in some cases if single and double drug therapy does not work. E. For maintenance therapy of chronic stable angina, the combination of propranolol with nifedipine has been shown to be more effective than individual drugs used alone. (A)

For maintenance therapy of chronic stable angina, long-acting nitrates, calcium

channel-blocking agents, or beta-blockers may be chosen; the best choice of drug will depend on the individual patient's response.

The combined use of propranolol and organic nitrates theoretically should enhance the therapeutic effects of each and minimize their adverse effects

In the presence of overt heart failure, all calcium channel blockers can cause further worsening of heart failure as a result of their negative inotropic effect. Amlodipine, however, does not increase the mortality of patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction and can be used safely in these patients.

For maintenance therapy of chronic stable angina, the combination of a -blocker with a calcium channel blocker (eg, propranolol with nifedipine) or two different calcium channel blockers (eg, nifedipine and verapamil) has been shown to be more effective than individual drugs used alone.

If response to a single drug is inadequate, a drug from a different class should be added to maximize the beneficial reduction of cardiac work while minimizing undesirable effects. Some patients may require therapy with all three drug groups.
