KROK 1 2023 – Question 66 · KROK (Medicine) · Pharmacology
A patient has elevated blood pressure due to increased vascular tone. To lower the blood pressure in this case, it is necessary to prescribe the blockers of:
- A. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors
- B. β-adrenergic receptors
- C. Histamine H1 receptors
- D. α- and β-adrenergic receptors
- E. α-adrenergic receptors
Hint
Vascular tone is maintained mainly by sympathetic stimulation of smooth muscle receptors that cause vasoconstriction, so consider which receptor type to block to relax the vessels.
