What are the drugs to avoid in patients with HF and hypertension?
Drugs to avoid in patients with HF and hypertension include nondihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (eg, verapamil and diltiazem) and moxonidine. An attempt should be made to avoid -adrenergic blockers such as doxazosin; they might be used only if other drugs for the management of hypertension and HF are inadequate to achieve BP control at maximum tolerated doses.
