Short-term effects of angiotensin receptor blockers on blood pressure control, and plasma inflammatory and fibrinolytic parameters in patients taking angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors
Introduction. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reduce cardiovascular events in patients with established vascular disease and heart failure (HF). ACE-inhibitors have important effects on fibrinolytic balance, which may be the underlying mechanism for a reduction in cardiovascular event...
