Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are used to treat angina and hypertension by dilating blood vessels and stopping the influx of calcium into muscle cells lining vessels.

Answer: C
 Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are also used to treat hypertension, but they work by preventing the formation of a hormone called angiotensin II, which can constrict blood vessels.

Answer: E
 Beta-blockers are drugs used to treat angina and hypertension, but they work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels, slowing down the heart rate and reducing blood pressure.
