Angiotensinergic versus nonangiotensinergic hemodynamic effects of converting enzyme inhibition in patients with chronic heart failure. Assessment by acute renin and converting enzyme inhibition.
BACKGROUND The contribution of nonangiotensinergic effects of converting enzyme inhibitors to their hemodynamic effects in patients with chronic heart failure is not clear. A comparison of the effects of renin and converting enzyme inhibition should help to clarify this issue. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-six patients with chronic heart failure (New York Heart Association class II or III) were ...
متن کاملAngiotensin converting enzyme inhibition in patients with congestive heart failure.
The etiology of afterload elevation in congestive cardiac failure is unclear, but experimental evidence suggests a role for the renin-angiotensin system in maintaining elevated peripheral vascular resistance. The angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor SQ20,881 was administered to eight patients with congestive cardiac failure (four hypertensives, four normotensives) during or one day after dia...
متن کاملAssessment by Angiotensin Converting Enzyme and Renin Inhibition
Background. The participation of the renin-angiotensin system in the control of blood pressure in normal, sodium-replete subjects is not clear. The use of a specific inhibitor of human renin should allow a better delineation of the importance of this system. Methods and Results. Blood pressure responses were measured 1 hour after randomized, double-blind administration of the renin inhibitor Ro...
متن کاملEffects of Chronic Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibition
Background. Previous studies have shown that global left ventricular function is depressed after myocardial infarction. However, little is known about the effects of myocardial infarction on contractility and the passive-elastic properties of residual myocardium. Methods and Results. We evaluated isometric function and passive myocardial stiffness in isolated, noninfarcted left ventricular papi...
متن کاملAcute regional circulatory and renal hemodynamic effects of converting-enzyme inhibition in patients with congestive heart failure.
The acute effects of the angiotensin converting-enzyme inhibitor captopril on regional blood flow, renal hemodynamics and sodium excretion were studied in 12 patients with severe congestive heart failure. Converting-enzyme inhibition decreased systemic vascular resistance by 27% and increased cardiac index by 16%. Estimated hepatic blood flow decreased 17%, but renal blood flow increased 60%. T...
