Nitroglycerin is contraindicated in myocardial infarction associated with: a) Hypertension b) Left ventricular failure c) Angina d) Right ventricular infarction

The most important factor is the left ventricular function. Those with poor left ventricular function have poor survival.

Drug which should not be taken within 24 hours of nitrate intake and vice versa: a) Beta blocker b) Calcium channel blocker c) Alpha blocker d) Sildenafil

Endomyocardial Fibrosis (EMF) is a type of restrictive cardiomyopathy. It is characterised by fibrosis and obliteration of the ventricular cavity, predominantly involving the right ventricle.

Drug of choice for hypertension in a person with coronary artery disease and angina pectoris: a) Alpha blocker b) Beta blocker c) Calcium channel blocker d) Angiotensin receptor blocker

Diagnostic Coronary Catheters Diagnostic Coronary Catheters: Diagnostic coronary angiography is most often undertaken either through the femoral route or radial route. Rarely brachial or axillary access may be

Beta blockers shown to be useful in heart failure include all except: a) Carvedilol b) Metoprolol c) Bisoprolol d) Atenolol
