Which medication combinations may be beneficial in treating angina pectoris?
a. Antidysrhythmics and platelet active agents
b. ACE inhibitors and statins
c. Vasoconstrictors and diuretics
d. Analgesics and thrombolytics
ANS: B
ACE inhibitors and statins are often combined to treat angina pectoris. Antidysrhythmics and platelet active agents are not used in combination to treat angina because angina does not typically result in rhythm disturbances. Vasoconstrictors would exacerbate angina and are not used with diuretics. Analgesics and thrombolytics are not used in combination to treat angina because angina is not caused by a clot, so thrombolytics are not necessary.
