Which class of medications does not have a compelling indication in the treatment of HTN in a post-MI patient?
- A.
ACEI or ARB
- B.
Calcium channel blockers

Calcium channel blockers do not have a compelling indication in the treatment of hypertension (HTN) in a post-MI (myocardial infarction) patient. This means that calcium channel blockers are not specifically recommended for this particular condition. ACE inhibitors or ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers), beta blockers, and aldosterone antagonists are all classes of medications that are commonly used in the treatment of HTN in post-MI patients.Rate this question:
