A patient with newly diagnosed essential hypertension starts treatment with a commonly used antihypertensive drug at a dose that is considered to be therapeutic for the vast majority of patients. Soon after starting therapy the patient experiences crushing chest discomfort. ECG changes show myocardial ischemia. Studies in the cardiac catheterization lab show episodes of coronary vasospasm, and it is likely the antihypertensive drug provoke the vasospasm. Which antihypertensive drug most likely caused the ischemia and the angina? Atenolol Diltiazem Hydrochlorothiazide Lozartan

A patient has frequent episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. He has received a medication for prophylaxis of these events. Which of the following is the most suitable for long term use? Nifedipine Adenosine Amiodarone Heparin Lidocaine
While undergoing treatment, the girl becomes increasingly neutropenic and is unable to fight off an infection. Overwhelming sepsis occurs, and the girl develops hypotension and shock. As a result, she acquires DIC and multiple organ failure. DIC is secondary to a wide variety of well-defined clinical conditions, specifically those that activate the clotting cascade. The clotting may result in the consumption of platelets, and clotting factors may lead to severe bleeding that is caused by: 1. Endothelial damage 2. Lack of thrombin production 3. Increased synthesis of thrombomodulin 4. Platelet activation

Individuals undergoing anti-angiogenesis therapy with VEGF inhibitors often show initial reduction in tumor volume, but quickly develop resistance to the therapy. Resistant patients have elevated levels of Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGF) and Platelet Derived Growth Factors (PDGF) compared to patients that do not develop resistance. Briefly explain the two likely mechanisms by which these patients developed resistance.
