Ans. (d) LisinoprilRef.: Harrison 19th ed. /1623, 18th edition ch. 247* ACEIs attenuate the development of left ventricular hypertrophy, improve symptomatology and risk of death from CHF, and reduce morbidity and mortality rates in post-myocardial infarction patients.* Similar benefits in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality rates in patients with CHF have been observed with the use of ARBs.* ACEIs provide better coronary protection than do calcium channel blockers, whereas calcium channel blockers provide more stroke protection than do either ACEIs or beta blockers.
