What medications are recommended to prevent symptomatic heart failure in patients with a recent or remote history of myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome and reduced ejection fraction?
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) if the patient is ACE inhibitor intolerant are recommended to prevent symptomatic heart failure in patients with a recent or remote history of myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome and reduced ejection fraction. In addition, beta-blockers can reduce mortality in these patients.
