Which medication increases long-term survival in ACS patients?

  1. ACE inhibitors

  2. Beta-blockers

  3. Nitroglycerin

  4. Aspirin

The correct answer is: Beta-blockers

While all of these medications can be beneficial for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), only beta-blockers have been consistently shown to increase long-term survival in ACS patients. ACE inhibitors and nitroglycerin are important for managing blood pressure and preventing further cardiac events, but they have not been proven to have a significant impact on long-term survival. Aspirin is also important for preventing blood clots, but it is not necessarily specific to ACS patients and may not have as much of an impact on long-term survival compared to beta-blockers. Ultimately, the evidence and research supports beta-blockers as the best choice for improving long-term survival in ACS patients.
