Aldosterone is the main unit of RAAS and self-sufficient predictor of the development of cardiovascular events. In this study, the angiotensin receptor blocker valsartan, ACE inhibitor ...

Management of hypertension: the advent of a new angiotensin II receptor antagonist.
1999-06-01

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonists have received increased therapeutic recognition in the treatment of hypertension. Although the overall effects of the ACE inhibitors and AT1 receptor antagonists may seem superficially similar, there are important ...

First-dose response to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition in congestive cardiac failure: a Malaysian experience.

Despite their proven value in reducing morbidity and mortality in different grades of heart failure, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors continue to be underused. One reason for this is clinicians' apprehension of first-dose hypotension. We conducted a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled parallel group study to investigate the effect of ...

Long-term combined therapy with an angiotensin type I receptor blocker and an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor prolongs survival in dilated cardiomyopathy.
2002-09-01

The efficacy of ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) in the treatment of chronic heart failures is well documented. However, ACEIs may provide incomplete blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) because of the alternative pathways for angiotensin II (All) production. We hypothesized that more complete blockade of RAS by adding an AT1 receptor blocker (ARB) may ...

Screening for the detection of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, their metabolites, and AT II receptor antagonists.
1998-12-01

A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) screening procedure was developed for the detection of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, their metabolites, and angiotensin (AT) II receptor antagonists in urine as part of a systematic toxicologic analysis procedure for acidic drugs and poisons after extractive methylation. The part of the ...

Trough/peak ratios of once daily angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and calcium antagonists.
1996-07-01

Medications given once daily may increase compliance for treatment of hypertension, if the drugs have a prolonged duration of action. The time-effect profiles for antihypertensive drugs may not depend entirely on pharmacokinetic measurements (plasma levels). Thus, trough/peak effects on blood pressure should be measured. It has been suggested that trough/peak ratios be greater than 50% for optimal ...

Rationale and Design of a Trial of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibition in Infants with Single Ventricle
2009-01-01

BackgroundAngiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are known to improve clinical outcome and ventricular function in adults with heart failure. Infants with single ventricle physiology show abnormalities in ventricular function as well as poor growth. The ability of an ACE inhibitor to preserve ventricular ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition, intracellular Na+, and Na(+)-K+ pumping in cardiac myocytes.
1995-02-01

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors can reduce cardiac mass in both clinical and experimental cardiac hypertrophy. Because cytoplasmic Na+ and pH have been implicated as regulators of cell growth, we examined the effect of treatment with an ACE inhibitor on intracellular Na+ activity (alpha iNa) and pH ...

1 Enalapril, a novel long acting angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, was given orally to 12 patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA functional class III and IV) and cardiomegaly. 2 The optimal dose averaged 17 mg given once-daily. Heart rate, systemic arterial blood pressure, pulmonary arterial pressure, right and left ...

Characterization of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in the testis and assessment of the in vivo effects of the ACE inhibitor perindopril
1988-07-01

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) was characterized by radioligand studies utilizing the potent ACE inhibitor 351A, a derivative of lisinopril. Ligand binding characteristics were similar for ACE derived from testis, lung, and kidney, despite known differences in structure between ACe from ...

Bradykinin B2 receptor-dependent enhancement of enalapril-evoked hypotension in ethanol-fed female rats.
2011-01-01

Our previous studies showed that chronic ethanol feeding attenuates centrally (clonidine) evoked and potentiates peripherally (hydralazine) evoked hypotension in female rats. In this study, we investigated whether chronic ethanol (8 weeks, 5% wt/vol) alters hemodynamic responses elicited by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition (enalapril) in ...

High-Dose Enalapril Treatment Reverses Myocardial Fibrosis in Experimental Uremic Cardiomyopathy
2011-01-27

AimsPatients with renal failure develop cardiovascular alterations which contribute to the higher rate of cardiac death. Blockade of the renin angiotensin system ameliorates the development of such changes. It is unclear, however, to what extent ACE-inhibitors can also reverse existing cardiovascular alterations. Therefore, we investigated the effect of high dose ...

The relationship between tubulointerstitial nephritis and proteinuria was characterized in experimental nephrosis in rats. In one group, proteinuria induced by aminonucleoside of puromycin (PAN) was reduced by using an 8% protein diet and adding the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor enalapril to the drinking water. Two ...
