OBJECTIVE: To discuss the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors on
ventricular remodeling and survival after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). An overview is …

The dilation and distortion of the left ventricle that may occur as a consequence of
myocardial infarction are associated with a heightened risk for adverse cardiovascular …

Background: The beneficial effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in the
prevention of heart failure following myocardial infarction are widely accepted. However, the …

Background: ACE inhibitors have shown beneficial results in several studies after
myocardial infarction (MI). However, this studies have shown conflicting results about the …

The effects of angiotensin II on myocardial contractility were assessed in isolated cardiac
myocyte preparations, using video microscopy with a computerized edge-detection system …

Synopsis Captopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor which has been
used extensively in the treatment of patients with hypertension and congestive heart failure …

Background. Previous studies have shown that long-term treatment with the angiotensin-
converting enzyme inhibitor captopril attenuates left ventricular dilatation and improves …

Myocardial ischemia and subsequent reperfusion of the ischemic myocardium represent
complex phenomena encompassing numerous physiological processes. This book aims at …

OBJECTIVE: Although angiogenic proteins have been identified as positive modulators of
myocardial revascularization following acute myocardial infarction, little if anything is known …

Occlusion of a coronary artery results in myocardial ischemia and subsequent myocardial
infarction. Whenever the infarct size is more than 30% of the ventricular wall, the remaining …
