Question 5 • Medical Terminology - EL3620 A

For patients with heart failure, can help keep the heartbeat strong.

Answer
A
digitalis
B
a thrombolytic drug
C
a platelet aggregation inhibitor
D
a statin drug

Explanation

Digitalis medicines, such as digoxin, can strengthen the force of the heartbeat and may be used in some patients with heart failure. Thrombolytic drugs dissolve blood clots, platelet aggregation inhibitors reduce clot formation, and statins lower cholesterol; these do not directly strengthen the heartbeat.
