/.What is beta thalassemia? - Answer-✅a condition in which the synthesis of the beta-
globin chains is decreased or absent. Causes low hemoglobin.

✅Ferrous Sulfate
/.What drug is used in combination with other agent to treat lymphoid tissue (leukemia).
Directly toxic to lymphoid tissues Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM) - for
hormone receptor positive and advanced breast cancer. (Tomaxafin - reduces risk and
recurrence risk) - Answer-✅Glucocorticoids
/.What is the normal ejection fraction? - Answer-✅55-60%. Less than 50% is BAD

FVO, rails, S3 murmurs. Number one cause of right sided heart failure!
/.What are symptoms of right sided heart failure? - Answer-✅Think peripheral vascular.
Lower extremity edema, abdominal distension.
/.What is the gold standard lab test for heart failure? - Answer-✅BNP. Heart failure is a
result greater than 100

angioedema
hyperkalemia
*Contraindicated in pregnancy
/.Which type of antihypertensive should NOT be given to patients with Asthma? -
Answer-✅Nonselective beta blocker (-lol) because both beta-2 receptors are effected
/.What is the first choice of calcium channel blocker? - Answer-✅Verapamil
/.What side effect should you watch for in a patient taking a statin drug? - Answer-
✅Muscle pain which can lead to rhabdomyolysis, kidney failure, and death.
