Hi,
All the drugs you have been prescribed will help your heart to function better. Carvedilol is a B Blocker which is prescribed to reduce the risk of irregular heartbeat and also is an antihypertensive.
Isosorbide mononitrate and Ranolizine are both anti anginal drugs which improve the blood circulation to the heart. I hope that answers your question.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
