چکیده

ctivation of the renin – angiotensin system (RAS) has a profound effect on the prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction and/or heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), as proven by the beneficial effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs).1 Because angiotensin II is produced in the ACE-dependent and -independent pathways,2 the addition of AT1 receptor blockers (ARBs) to ACEIs is expected to completely block RAS activity and to improve the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers in Myocardial Infarction Patients With Renal Dysfunction.

BACKGROUND There is no consensus whether angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) should be used for secondary prevention in all or in only high-risk patients after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate whether ACEI/ARB treatment after AMI is associated with better outcomes across different risk profiles,...

he outcome of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) has been substantially improved by the introduction of reperfusion therapy and its continuous refinement. Current reperfusion methodology salvages more than 50% of the ischemic myocardium from infarction in approximately half of acute MI patients without cardiogenic shock. 1 However, in 25% of acute MI patients, myocardial salvage by ...
