The rationale for prescribing calcium blockers for angina can be based on the need for:
 
  1. Increased inotropic effect in the heart
  2. Increasing peripheral perfusion
  3. Keeping heart rates high enough to ensure perfusion of coronary arteries
  4. Help with rate control

Question 2

Combinations of a long-acting nitrate and a beta blocker are especially effective in treating angina because:
 
  1. Nitrates increase MOS and beta blockers increase MOD.
  2. Their additive effects permit lower doses of both drugs and their adverse reactions cancel each other out.
  3. They address the pathology of patients with exertional angina who have fixed atherosclerotic coronary heart disease.
  4. All of the above
