Heart failure
Following a heart attack (myocardial infarction) to reduce the risk of death and further heart events
Reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with high risk factors
Metoprolol decreases the heart's workload by reducing heart rate and contractility. Ramipril widens blood vessels, reducing peripheral resistance and thus lowering blood pressure. The combined effect provides superior blood pressure control and reduces cardiovascular risk compared to using either drug alone.
