Comparative Effectiveness of Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors in Older Nursing Home Residents After Myocardial Infarction: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Providers should consider factors such as patient preferences, class-specific adverse events, and costs when prescribing.
