Antagonism of the acute hemodynamic effects of captopril in decompensated congestive heart failure by aspirin administration

Antagonism of the acute hemodynamic effects of captopril in decompensated congestive heart failure by aspirin administration

The concomitant use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and aspirin may cause pharmacological antagonism. Hence we examined the effect of aspirin on the neurohormonal function and hemodynamic response to captopril in heart failure patients. Between April 1999 and August 2000, 40 patients wer...
