ACE-Inhibition plus Mineralocorticoid Antagonism versus ACE-inhibition alone in Patients with Anterior Myocardial Infarction

Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 2001
Aldosterone exerts pro-fibrotic effects, acting via mineralo-corticoid reeptors in cardiovascular tissues. Aldosterone antagonism in combination with ACE inhibition may better protect against untoward effects of aldosterone than ACE inhibition alone.In a double blind, randomised study the tolerability and efficacy of canreonate (25 mg/day) plus ...

Differential Inhibition of Plasma Versus Tissue ACE by Utibapril: Biochemical and Functional Evidence for Inhibition of Vascular ACE Activity

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1997
Utibapril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with a proposed tissue-specific inhibitory profile. This implies that at a certain dose, utibapril should be able to inhibit tissue ACE activity without affecting plasma ACE. Moreover, if tissue ACE activity is rate limiting, functional conversion of angiotensin I should be decreased ...

Effects of ACE inhibition on the heart.

Journal of human hypertension, 1995
Inhibition of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) results in suppression of the formation of angiotensin II and delay of the degradation of bradykinin. Hence, the pharmacological effects of ACE inhibitors are attributable to both of these mechanisms.

Effect of ACE inhibition on neurohormones.

European heart journal, 1999
Long-term controlled trials in heart failure in patients with asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction indicate the potential of ACE inhibition to reduce ischaemic events, such as unstable angina and myocardial infarction. These effects occur after long-term medication and suggest structural rather than functional effects of ACE inhibitors.

ACE inhibition and renal protection.

Clinical physiology and biochemistry, 1993
In patients with renal disease, altered renal function causes elevation of blood pressure, but hypertension in its turn accelerates progression of renal failure. Lowering of blood pressure into the normotensive range is beneficial for slowing progression.
