A 65-year-old man with a history of myocardial infarction presents with shortness of breath when climbing the stairs to his apartment. His feet are more swollen than usual, and he recently has begun to sleep propped up in his armchair. Medications at home include omeprazole, glipizide, and simvastatin. His primary care physician decides to prescribe a new medication to treat the patient's symptoms.

Which of the following medications, although not absolutely contraindicated, should be used with caution due to the theoretical concerns of masking hypoglycemia?
|
A. Captopril
B. Digoxin
C. Hydralazine
D. Hydrochlorothiazide
E. Metoprolol
|
β-blockers such as metoprolol decrease heart rate, contractility, and conduction through the atrioventricular node. They have been shown to decrease mortality and disease progression in patients with stable systolic congestive heart failure. Patients need to be mindful that β-blockers may mask the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia (eg, diaphoresis, tachycardia). This patient is taking a sulfonylurea, glipizide, for the treatment of diabetes. Sulfonylureas trigger the release of insulin and therefore are associated with a risk of hypoglycemia.
