OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether either angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
or other classes of antihypertensive drug attenuate or increase growth rates of small …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) causes∼ 170 000 deaths annually worldwide. Most
guidelines recommend asymptomatic small AAAs (30 to< 50 mm in women; 30 to< 55 mm in …

Background Pharmacotherapy may represent a potential means to limit the expansion rate
of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Studies evaluating the efficacy of different …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a common condition that may be lethal when it is
unrecognized. Current guidelines suggest repair as the aneurysm diameter reaches 5.0 to …

Background There is a clinical need for treatments that can slow or prevent the growth of an
abdominal aortic aneurysm, not only to reduce the need for surgery, but to provide a means …

Background No effective treatment is currently available to prevent progression of small and
medium-sized abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Identification of drugs with sufficient …
