Questions and Answers

Aliskirin is a medication that belongs to a class known as:

  • Direct Renin Inhibitors (correct)
  • Aldosterone Antagonists
  • Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers
  • ACE Inhibitors

What is the primary mechanism of action of calcium channel blockers (CCBs)?

  • Prevents calcium from entering cells, especially in the heart and blood vessels (correct)
  • Inhibits the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, leading to vasodilation
  • Blocks sodium channels, reducing cardiac contractility
  • Stimulates beta-adrenergic receptors, increasing heart rate and contractility

Which drug is specifically used for high blood pressure, heart failure, and nephropathy?

  • Losartan
  • Olmesartan
  • Captopril (correct)
  • Enalapril
