So in that case what anti-hypertensive meds should we use as 1st line? B- or ACE- or both? If both given in options, what should we pick?
I'd say HTN+angina-> B- as it has anti-ischemic effect (decrease HR, decrease contractility->decrease myocardial work and O2 demand).
While in post-MI, I'd say ACE- 1st line as it prevents modulation of cardiac ms.
Correct me if I am wrong, and please state why?
