Overview[edit | edit source]

The Collaborative Group on ACE Inhibitor Trials demonstrated significant reduction in total mortality and hospitalization with the administration of ACEIs that was consistent among wide range of patients.[1]

ACE Inhibitors[edit | edit source]

Indications for ACE Inhibitors Use[edit | edit source]

1. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is ≤ 40%

or

2. There is a prior history of myocardial infarction (MI)

Background[edit | edit source]

Dosing[edit | edit source]

  • ACE-I or ARB therapy should be initiated at low dosage such as 12.5 mg tid of captopril, 2.5 mg bid of enalapril[2][3], or 2.5 mg daily lisinopril.
  • Every 4 to 6 weeks the dose is gradually uptitrated, as tolerated, toward target dosages of 20-40 mg daily for lisinopril, 10-20 mg twice daily for enalapril maleate, and 50-100 mg three times a day for captopril, or to the maximum tolerated dosage.
  • ACE inhibitors are rarely adequate for the treatment of congestion without the use of diuretics.

Complications[edit | edit source]

Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibition With ACEi or ARB or ARNi[edit | edit source]

Class I
"1. In patients with HFrEF and NYHA class II to III symptoms, the use of ARNi is recommended to reduce morbidity and mortality. [9][10][11][12][13](Level of Evidence: A) "
"2. In patients with previous or current symptoms of chronic HFrEF, the use of ACEi is beneficial to reduce morbidity and mortality when the use of ARNi is not feasible.[3][2][14][15][16][17][1][18] (Level of Evidence: A) "
"3. In patients with previous or current symptoms of chronic HFrEF who are intolerant to ACEi because of cough or angioedema and when the use of ARNi is not feasible, the use of ARB is recommended to reduce morbidity and mortality. [19][20][21][22][23] (Level of Evidence: A) "
"5. In patients with chronic symptomatic HFrEF NYHA class II or III who tolerate an ACEi or ARB, replacement by an ARNi is recommended to further reduce morbidity and mortality. [9][10][11][12][13](Level of Evidence: B-R) "
Class Value Statement: High Value
"4. In patients with previous or current symptoms of chronic HFrEF, in whom ARNi is not feasible, treatment with an ACEi or ARB provides high economic value. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30](Level of Evidence: A) "
"6. In patients with chronic symptomatic HFrEF, treatment with an ARNi instead of an ACEi provides high economic value. [31][32][33][34] (Level of Evidence: A) "
Class III (Harm)
"7. ARNi should not be administered concomitantly with ACEi or within 36 hours of the last dose of an ACEi. [35][36] (Level of Evidence: B-R) "
"8. ARNi should not be administered to patients with any history of angioedema.[37][38][39][40] (Level of Evidence: C-LD) "
"9. ACEi should not be administered to patients with any history of angioedema. [41][42][43][44] (Level of Evidence: C-LD) "
