What is the role of ACE inhibitors in hypertension ?
• In the HOPE (Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation) study the use of ramipril was associated with reductions of stroke, coronary artery disease and heart failure in both hypertensive and non-hypertensive groups as compared to placebo (N Engl J Med 2000; 342: 145-53).
• In the Captopril Prevention Project (CAPPP) the risk of stroke was slightly greater with ACE inhibitor based therapy than with diuretic-based or beta-blocker based therapy but the higher baseline and follow-up blood pressure among patients assigned the ACE inhibitor regimen may largely or entirely account for the excess risk of stroke (Lancet 1998; 353:611-16).
