Use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE‐inhibitors) and angiotensin receptor …

Of 130 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) not treated surgically, 75 (58%)

BACKGROUND: A modest (41%) reduction in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth rate
is likely to delay AAA-related events (surgery or rupture) by 5 years, making the notion of …
