Am doing a report on this clinical scenario - The medicines prescribed are Aspirin-one tablet in the morning(70mg), Imdur-one tablet in the morning(60mg) and GTN tablets-one as required for chest pain(500mcg). Any help will be great! thanks

Yes. Aspirin is fairly standard for prevention of secondary MI, while isosorbide mononitrate (Imdur) is to reduce preload and thus how hard her heart has to work, and the GTN is mainlyfor symptomatic relief of anginal pain (though it does not reduce mortality). If her angina is stable, she should probably also be on beta-blockers (to reduce cardiac workload) as well.

Well I would say ask your doctor. I am a heart patient, and I take pills every single morning for my heart. I would say yes take them, BUT ONLY if your doctor has approved them. Your lucky, only three pills. I take seven and then Nitro as needed. Good Luck/health
