Different effects of perindopril and enalapril on monocyte cytokine release in coronary artery disease patients with normal blood pressure.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2012, Vol 64, Issue 6
Abstract
Favorable effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor treatment on the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular mortality and morbidity are not limited to patients with elevated blood pressure. As suggested by our previous results, the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic differences between drugs may markedly contribute to the strength of pleiotropic effects of ACE inhibitors.
