You are caring for a patient with systolic HF who cannot take ACE inhibitors. What would be the drugs of choice for this patient?
A) Loop diuretic
B) Angiotensin prohibiter
C) Combination of hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate
D) Combination of hydrostatic dinitrate and isosorbide trinitrate
Ans: C
Feedback: A combination of hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate may be another alternative for patients who cannot take ACE inhibitors. Loop diuretics are not another alternative for ACE inhibitors. Angiotensis prohibiter and hydrostatic dinitrate with isosorbide trinitrate are distracters for this question.
