Which clinical manifestations occur as the result of the cardiac remodeling caused by angiotensin II?
1. Hypotrophy of myocyte cells
2. A breakdown of fatty plaque deposits
3. Hypotension and dehydration
4. Myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The cardiac remodeling from angiotensin II does not cause hypotrophy of myocyte cells, but rather hypertrophy of myocyte cells.
Rationale 2: The cardiac remodeling from angiotensin II causes a deposit of fatty plaques, not a breakdown.
Rationale 3: The cardiac remodeling from angiotensin II does not cause hypotension or dehydration.
Rationale 4: Angiotensin II causes cardiac remodeling of hypertrophy of myocardial cells and promotes collagen deposits, which increase the risk of myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident.
Global Rationale: Angiotensin II causes cardiac remodeling of hypertrophy of myocardial cells and promotes collagen deposits, which increase the risk of myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident. Hypotrophy of myocyte cells, a breakdown of fatty plaque deposits, hypotension, and dehydration do not occur as a result of the cardiac remodeling caused by angiotensin II.
