ACEI ; carvedilol: Acei = angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors were first ; continue best track record to reduce mortality rates for congestive heart failure (1 result of HTN ) but commonly do not improve heart function, just slow decline. Fat soluble ones, e.g. Perindopril best. Adding on carvedilol, with care (along with aggressively txing drivers of arterial disease) usually improves heart function over time.
