background: there is controversy over the potential benefits/harms of the usage of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (aceis) or angiotensin receptor blockers (arbs) as regards the postoperative mortality of coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). this study investigates the correlation between the in-hospital mortality of cabg and the preoperative administration of acei/arb. methods: out...

Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme activities were measured in 41 type 1 diabetics (16.4 +/- 4.0 U/ml), in 40 type 2 diabetics (15.0 +/- 5.2 U/ml) and in 52 controls (13.0 +/- 2.7 U/ml, mean +/- SD). Twenty six (32%) of 81 patients presented with serum angiotensin-converting enzyme activities above the normal range. No relation between serum angiotensin-converting enzyme activities and the pre...

there are controversial reports about the effect of captopril on pain modulation. also while captopril may potentiate morphine analgesia, enalapril has not such an effect and interaction of morphine with angiotensin ii receptor antagonists and other angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors has not been studied yet. therefore, this study was designed to assess the effect of captopril, lisinopril...
