Correct answer: D — Bradycardia and heart block
Rate-limiting calcium-channel blockers with beta-blockers increase bradycardia and conduction risk. In this vignette, "Bradycardia and heart block" is the safest single best answer. The other options are less appropriate because they miss the key clinical risk, conflict with UK medicines guidance, or delay needed review.
