**Question:** A drug selectively blocks If channels in the heart. How would this change heart function?**Options:**- The amount of calcium entering the patient's heart cells would increase.- The drug would slow down this individual's heart rate.- This drug would decrease contractility of the patient's heart.- This drug would increase the blood pressure of the patient.**Explanation:** The question is exploring the effects of blocking If channels, which are also known as "funny channels." These channels play a crucial role in regulating heart rate by controlling the pacemaker activity in the sinoatrial node. Blocking these channels is expected to have specific effects on the heart's function.

There are different channels pr3sent in the heart which helps trasmjnt various currents .

A drug selectively blocks If channels in the heart. How would this change heart function? The amount of calcium entering the patient's heart cells would increase. The drug would slow down this individual's heart rate. This drug would decrease contractility of the patient's heart. This drug would increase the blood pressure of the patient.

You are working in the hospital today and you have to give ECG stress tests to two different patients. One patient is a renowned professional athlete (such as a football or basketball player) who has a physical workout 6 days a week. Another patient is obese and elderly with Type II diabetes mellitus not under control. This patient also has a sedentary lifestyle. What would you expect to see in each of their electrocardiograms before and after each stress test? Would there possibly be any differences in the results of their electrocardiogram?

Riley has been a licensed taxi driver in TX for 21 years. When his physician Dr. Rob gave Riley his annual exam, Rob noted that Riley's heart was beating irregularly and there was a possibility of ventricular damage. This could lead to a heart attack. In Rob's opinion, the irregularities did not appear that serious, although they could worsen. Rob shared his concern with Riley. Riley, wanting to stay with his taxi company to receive the generous pension upon retirement, pleaded with Rob not to reveal this information to anyone. If you were Dr. Rob, what would you do? What are conflicting values and how should they be resolved? How is this similar or different from the Tarasoff case? Support your answer.
