Chapter 44, Problem 2ITD
Summary Introduction

To review:

From the given data, we are required to examine whether both the capsules Contracten X and GITS are able to reduce the workload of heart.

Introduction:

A person who is suffering from hypertension needs to take Nifedipine drug under a doctor’s provisions. The function of this drug lowers the blood pressure and relaxes the blood vessels, so that the blood can flow easily. This medication should be taken regularly for effective results. A person who is suffering from hypertension needs to exercise on regular basis to avoid blood clotting. The given chart illustrates the effects of capsules GITS and Contarcten X over systolic blood pressure with respect to time (hours).

I need to calculate the approximate heart rate based on the given ECG results, but I can't get how to determine the length of time between two consecutive R waves. What I see, it's one second between the two highest waves (I suppose they are R waves). But it means the heart rate should be 60 beats per minute, but there is no option for this answer. Teach me how to determine correctly the length of time between two consecutive R waves.
As blood flows from the aorta to the arteries, arterioles, and capillaries and through the venous circulation, it encounters various resistances to flow, which results in pressure drops. Using the table, calculate the resistance for an artery and a capillary. (Note: The viscosity of the blood is 3.5 × 10-3 Pa-s.)
200 mg of drug is given IV, plasma drug concentration is 70 mg/L. Calculate the Vd? Where most of the drug is distributed to? Note: Volume of Distribution (L) = Amount of drug in the body (mg) / Plasma concentration of drug (mg/L). O a. Vd=14000 L, drug is mostly outside of plasma, distributed to tissues O b. Vd=2.8 L, drug is mostly outside of plasma, distributed to tissues OC. Vd =0.35 L, drug is mostly in plasma Od. Vd=2.8 L, drug is mostly in plasma O e. Vd =0.35 L, drug is mostly outside of plasma, distributed to tissues
