Q- An old patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention due to anterior myocardial infarction. Now, his ejection fraction is 45. Which of the following medications increases his survival?
A- Atenolol
B- Digoxin
C- Furosemide
D- Lisinopril
Yes it decreases mortality but beta blockers do so with low ejection fraction.
But why wouldn’t lisinopril be a right answer as well? It decreases mortiality in CHF too.
