Match the arrhythmia management strategy with its corresponding treatment:

Arrhythmias and heart failure = Treated as described in Chapters 22 and 25 Controlling high blood pressure = ACE inhibitors and dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers Lowering heart rate = Beta-blockers Improving forward blood flow through the heart = ACE inhibitors and dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers Signup and view all the answers

Match the medication with its effect in managing hypertension in patients with aortic regurgitation:

ACE inhibitors = Effective at reducing afterload Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers = Effective at reducing afterload Beta-blockers = Less commonly used due to concern about increasing blood pressure Lowering heart rate = Beta-blockers Signup and view all the answers

Match the symptom or condition with its advice for physical activity limitation:

Symptomatic patient or significant decrease in left ventricular function = Avoid physical exertion, competitive sports, and isometric exercise until the valve has been replaced Arrhythmias and heart failure occurrence = Avoid physical exertion, competitive sports, and isometric exercise until the valve has been replaced High blood pressure control = No specific advice regarding physical activity limitation Improving forward blood flow through the heart = Avoid physical exertion, competitive sports, and isometric exercise until the valve has been replaced Signup and view all the answers

Match the condition with its recommended action for patients with aortic regurgitation:

Symptomatic patient or significant decrease in left ventricular function = Avoid physical exertion, competitive sports, and isometric exercise until the valve has been replaced Arrhythmias and heart failure occurrence = Treated as described in Chapters 22 and 25 High blood pressure control = Use of ACE inhibitors and dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers Improving forward blood flow through the heart = Use of ACE inhibitors and dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers Signup and view all the answers
