ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORS IN ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION: WHEN TO START THERAPY AND WHICH DRUG TO USE?

https://doi.org/10.20996/1819-6446-2007-3-3-68-71

Abstract

Data of studies devoted to application of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in acute myocardial infarction are reviewed. The reasons of ambiguous results are discussed. A point of view that different ACE inhibitors may have the various efficacy and safety in patients with acute myocar￾dial infarction is suggested.
