Abstract

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors not only have become the cornerstone of the treatment of heart failure but increasingly also play a major role in hypertension and in cardiovascular protection. The role of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in cardiovascular pathology, with excess activities of angiotensin II and of aldosterone contributing to major adverse maladaptive roles. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors act on the crucial enzymes that generate angiotensin II and mediates the breakdown of bradykinin. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors give both primary and secondary protection from cardiovascular diseases.
