What are the anti hypertensives prescribed after cardiac failure or MI?

Answer 1

After evaluation of ETT, and the extent of heart damage will be taken in consideration.
The parameters of your BP, Pulse is important.
Some go free on nitrates and blood thinner; while others have a long list of like ACE inhibitors, Beta blockers etc.
They may combine a statins if cholestrol is high, some even prescribe Antacid in combination with a relaxant.
The prescription becomes a head ache when some doctors add a Diuretic.
I have seen such horrible prescriptions in which the consultant wrote the above medicines in one go.
The patient get tired of long list medications.
Sorry to write but this is what goes on by those Dip.Cards.

Answer 2

Cardiac failure means congestive heart failure. Myocardial infarction means heart attack.

Treatment for heart failure includes diuretics, ACE inhibitors, β-blockers, and correction of the underlying disorder.

Treatment for heart attack is antiplatelet drugs, anticoagulants, nitrates, β-blockers, and, for STEMI, emergency reperfusion via fibrinolytic drugs, percutaneous intervention, or, occasionally, coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Consult a cardiologist.
Please see the web pages for more details on Heart failure and Heart attack.

Answer 3

well the list is long & the choice of drug depends upon the patient profile & precipitating cause of heart failure.

in general beta blockers, like atenolol, metoprolol & the ACE-inhibitors like, captoprill, enalapril etc are used after an MI. but if MI is complicated by heart failure or bradycardia then beta blocker is contraindicated.
similarly ACE inhibitors are avoided if patient has concomitant renal failure.
diuretics is another class of useful drug used in cardiac failure.
all antihypertensives have a role in the both the diseases u have mentioned but they have to selected in accordance with pateint needs.

atonal, aspirin ( thins the blood for the stent) perindropol, omega 3 ,simvistatin warfarin (for my mechanical valve) gtn spray for angina, also paracetamol for pain
and also perscribed acidex for indigestion, think sometimes its all the tablets i take that gives me it. did take omezaprozle (i know i have spelt it wrong )but now have been taken off it

they say the tablets are to help with any symptoms that can re appear and to try and stop things happening again
