1.amlodepine, losartan and hctz are antihypertensives. 2.metoprolol is usually added for cardioprotection (there must be an ecg abnormality). 3. Nitroquick is to relieve anginal chest pain. 4. Ejection fraction is slightly on the lower side for a young adult. Can be normal for an old person. 5. Clopidogrel is a anti platelet drug. If you can forward me the details of the patient - age, sex, height, weight, ecg picture and echo report - I ll be able to advice you on the treatment. Mostly the patient has ischaemic heart disease. But I do need the above mentioned details.
