A member asked:
What are the best anti-hypertensive drugs to be given for a patient with hyperlipidemia (beta-blocker vs ace inhibitor)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on co-morbid: Depends on other co-morbidities. That is, if hypertensive patient is also diabetic, then ACE inhibitor. If patient is hypertensive and has a history of coronary disease, then ACE inhib and beta-blocker given their secondary benefits, etc. Each patient is unique and the whole pic needs to be considered.
