The following classes of medications are used in the management of heart failure:

  1. Beta blockers - These medications help to reduce heart rate and improve heart function.
  2. Diuretics - These are used to reduce fluid overload and help manage symptoms of heart failure.
  3. Inotropic agents - These medications enhance the contractility of the heart muscle, improving cardiac output.
  4. ACE inhibitors - These medications help to relax blood vessels and reduce the workload on the heart, improving symptoms and outcomes.

Hormone replacement therapy is not typically used for the management of heart failure.

So, the correct selections are:

  • Beta blockers
  • Diuretics
  • Inotropic agents
  • ACE inhibitors
