2. Objectives
• Overview of ACEI
• Indications and Uses
• Effectiveness and
• The Evidence
3. Franklin D Roosevelt – 1940s
Howard Bruenn lamented in the Annals of Internal Medicine, "I have
often wondered what turn the subsequent course of history might have
taken if the modern methods for the control of hypertension had been
available’’

6. ACE Inhibitor Groups
A. Sulfhydryl-containing agents:
– Captopril , the first ACE inhibitor
B. Dicarboxylate-containing agents:
– Enalapril
– Ramipril
– Quinapril
– Perindopril
– Lisinopril
– Benazepril
C. Phosphonate-containing agents:
– Fosinopril
– Trandolapril
7. Clinical Indications for ACEI
• Hypertension
• CHF
• Post MI
• Diabetes Mellitus
• Proteinuria
• Vascular Disease
• Post - transplant
8. Additional Benefits of ACEI
• Prevention of diabetes
• Prevention of stroke recurrence
• Prevention of atrial fibrillation
9. How ACEI is useful in hypertension?
• ACE inhibitors block the conversion of
angiotensin I to angiotensin II
• Lower arteriolar and renovascular resistance
• Increase venous capacity,
• Increase cardiac output, cardiac index and
stroke volume.
10. Which antihypertensive?
NICE Diabetes Clinical Guideline 66;May 2008. NICE Full Diabetes Guideline;2008
• First-line BP lowering therapy should be a once-daily, generic ACE
inhibitor
• Exceptions to this are:
– People of African-Caribbean descent
– Women for whom there is a possibility of
becoming pregnant
– For a person with continuing intolerance to an
ACE inhibitor
11. Choice of antihypertensive agents
When implementing blockade of the renin–
angiotensin system start treatment with an ACE
inhibitor first then move to an ARB if the ACE
inhibitor is not tolerated.
12. Pharmacotherapy –BP Control
• In people without CKD aim to keep the systolic
blood pressure below 140 mmHg (target range
120–139 mmHg) and the diastolic blood pressure
below 90 mmHg.
• In people with CKD and diabetes with urinary
protein excretion 1 g/24 h or more) aim to keep
the systolic blood pressure below 130 mmHg
(target range 120–129 mmHg) and the diastolic
blood pressure below 80 mmHg
13. Fixed Drug Combination
► To achieve recommended blood pressure
goals, it is often necessary to combine two or
more antihypertensive agents. Is there a
preferred combination?

15. The Moral of the Tale
As long as we reach
the objective BP
below 140/90
(130/80), it doesn’t
matter how we get
there
16. ALLHAT (JAMA 2002)
“The key message from ALLHAT is that what
matters most is getting blood pressure
controlled’’
17. The Heart Matters – the effect of ACEI
• Prevents cardiac hypertrophy
• Limits infarct size
• Improves cardiac function
• Improves cardiac metabolism
18. ACEI in Heart Failure
• ACE inhibitors are recommended to treat HF
due to systolic dysfunction.
• The benefit of ACE inhibitors has been
demonstrated in all severities of symptomatic
HF and in patients with asymptomatic left
ventricular (LV) dysfunction.
19. ACE in Heart Failure: the evidence
A meta-analysis evaluated five trials
• Improvement in symptoms
• A lower total mortality.
• A lower rate of readmission for HF).
20.
21. ACE Inhibitors for ‘Diastolic’ Heart
Failure?
• Guidelines for the management of heart
failure focus on patients with left ventricular
systolic dysfunction.
• However, guidelines make no
recommendation for their use in patients with
heart failure and preserved left ventricular
systolic function.
22. ACE inhibitors versus ARBs: comparison of
practice guidelines and treatment selection
• ACC/AHA Heart Failure guidelines 2005. ACE
inhibitors should be prescribed to all patients
with left ventricular systolic dysfunction HF
(class IA recommendation).
• They recommend ARBs as a "reasonable
alternative" first-line therapy (class IIA
recommendation).
23. ACE inhibitors versus ARBs: comparison of
practice guidelines : Contd
• ACEI more cost effective
• ARB better tolerated than ACEI
• Deciding factor may be largely patient-
specific.
24. Landmark trials with ACE inhibitors in HF

CONSENSUS 253 <35% enalapril 36 vs 50 reduced 1 year 6
1987 (IV)

1992 (I) reduction

1991 (II-III)
ATLAS 3164 <35 lisinopril no difference reduced 4 years -
1997 (II-IV)
25. • The ACE inhibitor Enalapril has also been
shown to reduce cardiac cachexia in patients
with chronic heart failure
• Cachexia is a poor prognostic sign in patients
with chronic heart failure. ACE inhibitors are
now used to reverse frailty and muscle
wasting in elderly patients without heart
failure.
27. Can ACEI prevent Diabetes ?
• Several recent studies indicate that ACE
inhibitor therapy reduces the development of
type 2 diabetes in persons with essential
hypertension.
• HOPE, CAPPP, SOLVD, and ALLHAT
• DREAM & ONTARGET = more recent
28. Path physiology
• Exact mechanism is not known
• ACEI reduces oxidative stress
• Increases insulin sensitivity in the liver
• Reduces Insulin resistance in muscles
• Helps in the preservation of islet cells of
pancreas
29. ACEI and the Kidneys
Clinical studies have shown ACE inhibitors
reduce the progress of diabetic nephropathy
independently from their blood pressure-
lowering effect.
This action of ACE inhibitors is used in the
prevention of diabetic renal failure.
30. ACEI and the Kidneys – Contd:
• Decreases Proteinuria (DM and Non-DM)
• Beneficial effect on permeability
• Beneficial effect on size selectivity
• Slow the Rate of GFR Decline

Concomitant Use of Antihypertensive Drugs Antihypertensive drugs typically are very complimentary; however, there are some combinations which tend to be more favorable and are shown in this slide by the yellow lines. Although drug combinations shown by the pink line can be used, they tend to be less complimentary and frequently do not result in an additive reductions in BP. Reference: Chalmers J. The Place of Combination Therapy in the Treatment of Hypertension in 1993. Clin Exp Hypertens. 1993;15:1299-1313.
