High dose angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition prevents fluid volume expansion in heart transplant recipients

Abstract: Extracellular fluid volume is expanded (12%) in clinically stable HTRs who become hypertensive. Pharmacologic suppression of the RAA axis with high-dose captopril (225 mg/day) returned HTRs to a normovolemic state. These findings indicate that fluid retention is partly engendered by a failure to reflexively suppress the RAA axis when HTRs become hypervolemic.

“…Besides these potentially renal‐sparing advantages of ACE inhibitors and ARBs, other documented renal benefits in heart transplant recipients include enhanced sodium excretion, as well as uricosuria that was associated with a lowering of plasma uric acid levels (63–65). These are desirable therapeutic effects given that volume overload and gout are both well‐recognized complications in this patient population.…”

“…Many humoral and neural mechanisms in HTx recipients may keep contributing to changes on the vessel wall. First, abnormal responsiveness of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) to fluid retention exists in HTx recipients 14 . This will ultimately lead to reabsorb more Na + and water from the urine.…”

“…R.W. Braith и соавторы в пере-крестном исследовании показали, что у реципиен-тов трансплантированного сердца с артериальной гипертонией объем внутрисосудистой жидкости увеличивается в среднем на 12% [15], а назначение ингибитора ангиотензинпревращающего фермента (иАПФ) каптоприла восстанавливает эуволюмиче-ское состояние. Указанные факты свидетельствуют о важной роли РААС в патогенезе АГ и ее осложне-ний у реципиентов трансплантированного сердца.…”
