- Mr. Adams is taking an ACE inhibitor and an angiotensinreceptor blocker, both drugs that block the RAAS, for his high blood pressure. He complains that when he tries to engage in physical activity, he feels faint. He is asked to exercise on a treadmill, and his blood pressure remains very low when he exercises, rather than rising with his level of physical activity. Explain how his medications could be causing his current problem?arrow_forwardA mother calls in requesting an appointment for her son who has mentioned that he has had experienced some chest pain, lightheadedness, occasional palpitations, and slight episodes of shortness of breath. She also relates that he appears to be experiencing fatigue and reduced tolerance of activity. One of his fraternal uncles was diagnosed as having hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and had experienced similar symptoms before collapsing during a football game. She advised that she is very frightened, because her son wants to go back to school and participate in basketball. How do you handle this phone call? Recognizing the importance of the fact that the fraternal uncle was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, you review information about the condition. What types of diagnostic procedures would you anticipate being ordered to be performed? What results would indicate the presence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? If the resulting diagnosis is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, what…arrow_forwardIs Cushing syndrome the possibility of developing hypertension? Explain how?arrow_forward
