I would have your same concerns, Ed. Comparing the diagnosis of CAD/CHF to a new suit of clothes, one size doesn't fit all, so to speak. That being said, the combined medication sounds like an interesting pill for someone just diagnosed. All the drugs mentioned are almost universally prescribed at the onset of symptoms.
