Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

L3-blocker medications are commonly used to treat cardiac patients and can improve exercise tolerance by increasing the angina threshold, which is the point at which the patient experiences chest pain or discomfort during exercise. A decrease in heart rate and blood pressure may also be observed during exercise due to the medication's ability to slow down the heart rate and reduce the workload on the heart, but this is not always the case. Administering a radioisotope during an exercise test is not directly related to the use of l3-blocker medication.
