Medications Medications are often the first line of treatment for cardiomegaly and can include: ACEinhibitors or ARBs , which help lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. Monitor blood pressure and cholesterol levels regularly. Beta-blockers , which slow the heart rate and reduce blood pressure.
But the rising trends of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease and the falling trend of activity levels lead me to a dark conclusion: things probably aren’t going to get any better. Statins lower cholesterol. ACEinhibitors block the angiotensin-converting enzyme to reduce blood pressure.
People at risk of cardiovascular disease would have their cholesterol levels checked. Anyone with diabetes would be prescribed blood sugar lowering medications. With diabetes, the aim is also to reduce heart attacks and strokes… additionally kidney failure, and amputations, and blindness. Then, if high, put on statins.
