CHF Patient NOT on ACE Inhibitor
My 62 year old mother is on the following medications to treat CHF:
Torsemide
Metolazone
Spironolactone
Metoprolol
Coreg
Digoxin
Coumadin

She is also a diabetic currently on Humalog & Lantus.

From my research, it does not appear that any of these medications are ACE Inhibitors which I've read are very good at treating CHF. Can someone tell me why the doctor doesn't have her on one of those? Her current infraction is about 10-15% and a couple of weeks ago the doctor told me that it won't be much longer until she passes. I just am concerned that maybe his treatment of her is not as good as it could be.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You!

Cindy
I'm not sure the 1st response answered my question. I looked up the medications and know what they are but none are ACE inhibitors.
