Answer to Question 1

A
The ACEIs and ARBs also have demonstrated value in decreasing the chance of cardiac mortal-ity in patients with heart failure. They also confer renal protection, which is particularly beneficial for patients with diabetes. The other statements are not related to both the patient's conditions.
