Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B, C

Feedback:

The electrical (ECG) changes associated with ARVC/D include ventricular tachycardia with LBBB, T-wave inversion in the right precordial leads, and epsilon waves. Right ventricular BBB may also be present. Atrial flutter and sinus arrhythmia with a first-degree AV block are not characteristic of this form of cardiomyopathy.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Damage to the organs that control and mediate the control of blood pressure, most notably the kidneys, is associated with secondary hypertension. Race, lifestyle, sodium intake, and associated cardiac and metabolic sequelae are associated with essential hypertension.
