I'm just watching the Kaplan videos for CK.
In talking about Mitral Stenosis, he says that salt restriction and DIURETICS are best for preload reduction and ACE INHIBITORS are no good for preload reduction. ACE INHIBITORS are only good for ventricular emptying whereas MS is a problem with ventricular filling and therefore DIURETICS are the best option.
Could someone explain why diuretics are good for preload reduction and not ACEi? And also why ACEi are only good for emptying, not filling of LV?
