Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antianginal drugs work by decreasing the oxygen demand of the heart, not by increasing oxygen supply. Option A is incorrect because antianginal drugs work by dilating coronary arteries, not by increasing nitric oxide production. Option B is incorrect because these medications do not increase the amount of oxygen that the heart receives. Option C is incorrect because antianginal drugs do not thin the blood, and thinning the blood would not necessarily increase the amount of oxygen that the heart receives.
