ACE inhibitors captopril and enalapril induce regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients with chronic renal failure

Abstract: Our results confirm that antihypertensive monotherapy with the ACE inhibitors, captopril and enalapril, in patients with chronic renal failure results in regression of left ventricular mass index associated with a significant improvement in the diastolic function of the left ventricle without a demonstrable deterioration in left ventricular systolic performance.

“…12 Dyadyk and co-workers demonstrated a 20% reduction in LV mass index over 12 months in ESRD patients treated with either captopril or enalapril. 13 There have been no clinical trials of treatment for ACS or CHF in patients with ESRD. We have recently shown that CKD patients, including ESRD, in the setting of ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI), significantly benefit from the use of aspirin and β-blockers.…”

“…Clinical studies on LVH regression after ACE inhibition in essential hypertension [22, 23]and in patients with chronic renal failure [24, 25]indicate that the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system might play a role in the development of LVH [26]. Moreover, it was proposed that the regression caused by ACE inhibition in chronic renal failure was independent of its antihypertensive effects [27].…”

“…Hence this points to the presence of other factors in the pathogenesis. However hypertension must be aggressively pursued in patients with renal failure as treatment has resulted in a modest amelioration of LVH (Dyadyk, Bagriy et al 1997). It also seems that the activation of the renin angiotensin aldosterone axis seems to be a factor independent of hypertension.…”

“…In conjunction with this Pirola et al have also shown that angiotensin II also stimulated the release of PTH (Pirola, Wang et al 1993;Okano, Wu et al 1994) and in the next section we will discuss how PTH seems to be an important factor in causing fibrosis and LVH. It has been shown that treatment with ACE inhibitors causes regression of LVH independent of hypotensive effects (Cannella, Paoletti et al 1997;Dyadyk, Bagriy et al 1997;Vlahakos, Hahalis et al 1997). This lends more credibility to the idea that cardiac fibrosis may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of uremic cardiomyopathy.…”
